World: r3wp

yes, color or something like that is what i was thinking. maybe some 
kind of "mode". i need to look at some ansi esc sequence docs, i'll 
eventually do that if noone beats me to it.

Hi, I have Debian-4 running in a VMWare the only problem is, that 
I'm not able to get the network started. I can't get eth0 up and 
running.

so you use Debian directly? Not Ubuntu server for e.g.? I was thinking 
amongst CentOS (Red Hat), Fedora, Suse and Ubuntu ...

just downloaded vmware ESXi, but dunno how to proceed with it. Need 
to study it a bit more :-)

Yes, just plain Debian4. Getting the messages I get.

So, the first strange thing is that I get a: "Bind socket to interface: 
No such device".

And, I get a bunch of "pcie_portdrv_probe ... has invalid IRQ.Check 
vendor BIOS". Whatever this means.

The strange thing is, I think I made a copy of the VM from an other 
one, where the network is working.

Did you check the network settings in the config that VMware associates 
with an image?

There's some voodoo in there that needs to match the guest configuration

Yes, it's that same. Really strange.

I might just make a new copy of the running VM ;-)

how copy a file from a samba server with a space in it ?

file\ with\ space ?

tried that

interesting. Don't think I've seen that problem before with Samba

How about using ' or " to suround the path?

Need an adice from Linux gurus. My webserver might get kind of hacked. 
It is hidden behind 5 firewall nodes, and only ports forwarded (= 
no public IP address there) are 110, 80, 25, 21. What actually is 
happening is, that I found around 20K spam emails in mail queue :-(


I provide Squirrel Mail to few of my friends, but it is rather old 
version 1.4.3a. When I start sendmail service, I can see two processes 
started, sendmail, and sm-msp-queue, so I wonder if the second one 
is valid? It might be for sending mails from localhost?

After some time, many of processes are started:

Any clues where should I look to remove the hack?

Your 5 FW don't help if port 25 (SMTP) is open. Properly configure 
Sendmail to not relay spams (lot of online documentation about that) 
or drop it and use Postfix instead (see http://www.postfix.org/spam.html). 
I'm not a Linux guru, but we ran with enough issues with sendmail 
a few years ago in my company to know how bad it is.

I thought that after all those years, it should be stable :-) I am 
not on CBL listing, so those mails actually don't get send. I can 
see "relying denied" in the log, as I allow only localhost and our 
internal domain 10* for relay ....

But I am scared a abit, as if Squirrel would be vulnerable, it sends 
mails from localhost, and then it would be really bad. Time to finally 
build new machine, install vmware ESXi, and some new distro upon 
that.

Take a look at ASSP. This one runs on port 25 and performs a lot 
of checks. And it drops the connection if traffic is identified as 
spam.

I use Exim as SMTP agent.

Why does Command on Linux require the libX... libraries?

And, is there a list of required libX... ?

SQLite: My version (shared library) on Linux fails as an "undefined 
symbol" error is reported: pthread_mutexattr_init

How can this be?

Did I miss to link with something when compile SQLite?

Ok got it. It's necessary to link with -lpthread -ldl

Whatever DL ist...

Next question: My dynamic library loads other dynamic libraries but 
can't find it.

Just run ldd on the rebol executable to find out which libraries 
it needs

LibDL is the dynamic (runtime) loader/linker

An executable needs it if it wants to load plug-ins

Just playing with Ubuntu JeOS.   How does one download stuff without 
a GUI ?  I tried wget and that isn't available.

how come we can do 

sudo aptitude install REBOL ?

can't do ...

Graham, did you try using apt-get to download stuff?

Nope.

Rebol isn't in the Ubuntu repositories

so what does one use in a server environment to download stuff?

wget <url> downloads files

So I guess you could get it directly from rebol.net that way?

I tried wget ... and command not recognized.

Try an "apt-get install wget"?

thanks .. that worked

How does one launch a new shell from an existing ? bash shell

oh ... just do this
./cheyenne &

Kaj, I know which libraries are necessary. But Rebol (or LibDL) can't 
find them even the libs are installed in /usr/local/lib

/usr/local/ is an odd place to have the X11 libraries. How were they 
installed there, and is that place in the library search paths?

I'm not talking abot X11 libs.
