-This document describes how to configure Linux for Belgian users and
-lists Linux user groups, businesses and other resources in Belgium.
-

-
-
- Introduction
-
-
- Why this document?
-
-Since there was no information anywhere on the net for Belgian Linux
-users around 1998, we started to collect stuff that we thought could
-be important.
-This HOWTO aims to be the definitive list of all Belgian-related Linux
-information. If you think not, you have no excuse to complain and
-certainly not to not contribute. ;)
-

-If you need to know more about the Linux Documentation Project or
-about Linux HOWTO's, feel free to contact the supervisor Tim Bynum
-linux-howto@sunsite.unc.edu.
-
-
-
-Tim Bynum will post the listing to several national and international
-newsgroups on a monthly basis. In addition, the Belgian HOWTO can be
-found on the World Wide Web at
-.
-New versions of the Belgian HOWTO are always placed at this site
-first, so please be sure to check if the copy you are reading is
-still up to date!

-
- The Linux.be-domain debacle
-
-As you might have heard, Belgium also has its problem with the Linux.be
-domain. Similar to the Linux.nl case. Around March 1999, someone tricked
-the DNS administration about the trademark 'Linux' in Belgium by using
-'Linux' as a commercial representation of the company ('uithangbord')
-which was according to the rules of the DNS administration at that time.
-The company in fact was one that sold motor-parts and the registration was
-done with a fake fax containing a penguin.
-
-
-
-It is sad that the person who registered the Linux.be-domain name,
-did this behind the back of some Open Source volunteers who
-were planning to register a not-for-profit organisation to hold the domain
-name to prevent any abuse.
-
-
-
-Afterwards there were several meetings with this person to work out an
-agreement so that the domain was not used for commercial purposes and
-handed over to a neutral organisation. But after several attempts it
-was very clear that the owner wanted full control over the domain, which
-he later emphasized by 'handing it over' to his own not-for-profit
-organisation. He stated several times he wanted to keep the right to add
-advertissements to the website, but wouldn't mind that volunteers added
-content to the site (that was empty at the time). After this, no one was
-willing to work voluntarily for the content of the site. Sadly he managed
-to get some people volunteer for it after all.

- Feedback
-
-If some information seems to be wrong, deceptive or missing, we'd
-appreciate if you mailed us the improvements. Since we're just human
-this document isn't bug-free, but your contribution can and will make
-a difference.

-To add yourself to the Linux user groups or businesses, collect all
-necessary information and mail it to us.

- Configuration
-
-
- Keyboard setup
-
-Linux provides 2 ways to set up your keyboard. At the console you can
-use loadkeys and under
-XFree86 you can use
-xmodmap.
-
-
-
- Console
-
-To use the keytable for a Belgian keyboard you can use
-loadkeys be2-latin1 or
-loadkeys be-latin1.
-The only difference between the two is that be2-latin1 adds support
-for twosuperior and threesuperior (keycode 41) and grave (keycode 43).
-
-
-
-Usually loadkeys is started at boottime from the
-scripts located somewhere in
-/etc/rc.d.
-Different distributions handle it differently. Most distributions
-have a simple program (like kbdconfig in Red Hat,
-install-keymap in Debian or
-yast in SuSE) to change the behaviour of these
-scripts.
-
-
-
-
- XFree86
-
-To set your keyboard properly under XFree86
-you've got more choices.
-By running Xconfigurator (or a similar program) a
-config-file for XFree86 is created (with
-some standard behaviour). This file is called
-XF86Config-4 or XF86Config
-and is usually located in
-/etc/X11 or
-/etc
-
-
-
-Make sure (and change otherwise) that something similar to this is
-given under the Keyboard Section.
-
- Section "Keyboard"
- Protocol "Standard"
- XkbRules "xfree86"
- XkbModel "pc101"
- XkbLayout "be"
- EndSection
-
-
-
-
-If you own a 'microsoft' keyboard (or the less-known penguin
-keyboards ;p) you can enable those extra 3 keys by changing the
-"pc101" into "pc104".
-(I use the extra keys as meta-keys in my windowmanager so some
-shortcuts don't conflict with the internal ones of my wm).
-
-
-
-To get the AltGr key to work under XFree86
-simply add in the Keyboard Section:
-
-
- RightAlt ModeShift
-
-
-
-
-
- Compose key
-
-Some people prefer to use a 'Compose'-key to enter their special characters, like:
-
-
- Compose' e => é
- Compose/ o => ø
- Composec , => ç
- Composec o => ©
- Composes s => ß
-
-
-For XFree86, the solution is to enter xmodmap -e "keycode xx = Multi_key"
-or xmodmap -e "keysym yy = Multi_key"
-where 'xx' is the keycode or 'yy' the keysym of the key you choose to
-be the 'Compose'-key.
-(use xev to get these values)
-
-
-
-Alternatively you can add keycode xx = Multi_key
-to your ~/.xmodmaprc. This way it happens automagically.
-
-
-
-For the console, you could do something similar with loadkeys.
-echo "altgr keycode 52 = Compose" | loadkeys to use
-AltGr/ as a 'Compose'-key.
-
-
-
-
-
- Display and applications
-
-Some applications have to be compiled as 8-bit clean to work well
-with the European characterset. Others like to be told in advance.
-
-
-
- Using the ISO-8859-1 font in console
-
-You can load the ISO-8859-1 font by typing the following in console:
-
- setfont lat1u-16.psf
- mapscrn trivial
- echo -ne '\033(K'
-
-
-
-
-To be able to use ë, è, é or ç in console,
-you might want to add these to your ~/.inputrc:
-
- set meta-flag on
- set convert-meta off
- set output-meta on
-
-
-(This must be done for every user, if you want this to be default for
-all users you can either add this file to
-/etc/skel/ or you could add
-these lines to /etc/inputrc and add the
-following to /etc/bashrc,
-export INPUTRC=/etc/inputrc)
-
-
-
- Note!
-
-This is only useful to programs that use readline
-(like bash)
-
-
-
-
-Also set the following environment variables:
-
-
- LC_CTYPE=iso-8859-1
- SYSFONT=lat1u-16.psf
- SYSTERM=linux
-
-
-
-
-
- Support for the Euro symbol
-
-Since Europe had to invent a new character, the Euro, there's a new
-standard. It's called ISO-8859-15 (aka Latin-9 or Latin-0). To add
-support you need both a new font and new keymaps. This is part of
-every major distribution nowadays, if you have an older distributions
-you probably need a newer console-tools package.
-
-
-
-There's more information in the
-Euro Character Support mini HOWTO
-
-
-
-
-
- Time zone
-
-Since Belgium is located in the Central European Time zone (aka MET)
-which (in the winter) is equivalent to the Greenwhich Mean Time plus 1
-(GMT+1), you can simply link
-/usr/lib/zoneinfo/localtime/MET to
-/etc/localtime symbolicly like:
-
-
- ln -sf /usr/lib/zoneinfo/MET /etc/localtime
-
-or
-
- ln -sf /usr/lib/zoneinfo/Europe/Brussels /etc/localtime
-
-
-This automagically sets Daylight Savings (which is GMT+2 in the
-summer).
-
-
-
- Note!
-
-Different distributions have different paths,
-zoneinfo can be located in
-/usr/share or such...
-
-
-
-
- Another note!
-
-Red Hat uses a tool called timeconfig,
-SuSE uses yast
-
-
-
-
-To change the CMOS clock and then synchronize the
-system time with the CMOS clock, do something like
-this:
-
-
- hwclock --set --date="Feb 25 03:38"
- clock -u -s
-
-
-If your clock is set to local time (which is discouraged but if you
-also run broken OS's, you must), you can do:
-
-
- hwclock --set --date="Feb 25 04:38"
- clock -s
-
-
-[Noticed the 1 hour difference ? ;p]
-
-
-
-If your computer has Internet-access you can use
-NTP (Network Time Protocol) to keep your system
-clock in sync. One way of doing this is by starting ntpdate from
-cron by adding
-
-
- 05 0 * * * root /usr/sbin/ntpdate -s ntp.belnet.be > /dev/null 2>&1
-
-
-to your /etc/crontab. Check the
-ISP-information below to see if your
-ISP has a NTP-server available.
-
-
-
-
- Locale support
-
-Not much programs support locale yet, if you want to know more about
-locale or how to write your own programs to support it, check:
-[put the damn url here ;p]
-
-
-
-Be aware that locale makes it harder to resolve problems as less
-people can help you !! You might understand a problem when it's in
-technical English, but what if it's translated in some obscure
-Dutch ?
-
-
-
- Dutch
-
-To enable support for the Dutch locale in Belgium on a system with
-locale support you just have to set the following environment
-variables:
-
-
- LANG=nl
- LANGUAGE=nl_BE
-
-
-Try nl_BE.ISO_8859-1 if nl_BE does not work.
-
-
-
-
- French
-
-If you want French locale support in Belgium, set the following environment
-variabels:
-
-
- LANG=fr
- LANGUAGE=fr_BE
-
-
-Try fr_BE.ISO_8859-1 if fr_BE does not work.
-
-
-
-
- German
-
-If you want instead German locale support in Belgium, set the
-following environment variabels:
-
-
- LANG=de
- LANGUAGE=de_BE
-
-
-Try de_BE.ISO_8859-1 if de_BE does not work.
-
-
-
-
- Walloon
-
-For Walloon locale support you can find files and information at:
-.
-To use it set:
-
-
- LANG=wa
- LANGUAGE=wa_BE:fr_BE
-
-
-Try wa_BE.ISO_8859-1 if wa_BE does not work.
-
-
-
-
-
- Native language support and codepages
-
-These options add support for the Belgian characterset and codepages.
-If you'd like to have these, compile a kernel with these options put
-on. They only apply to some filesystems (FAT-based,
-ISO9660, ...).
-
-
- < > Codepage 850 (Europe)
- < > NLS ISO 8859-1 (Latin 1; Western European Languages)
- < > NLS ISO 8859-15 (Latin 9; Western European Languages with Euro)
-
-Located in Filesystems >
-Native Language Support
-
-
-
-If your kernel is a modular kernel that came with your distribution
-(=you never compiled a kernel before), then you might want to type:
-
-
- insmod nls_cp850
- insmod nls_iso8859_1
- insmod nls_iso8859_15

- Ispell
-
-
- Contributed by Dany Vanderroost danyv@euronet.be
-
-
-
-
- Install and setup
-
-Ispell is composed of different components: the main software and
-one or more dictionaries. The default dictionary is
-/usr/lib/ispell/english.hash. To override this default
-you have 2 options. Either you can set the DICTIONARY-variable
-or launch it with the "-d" option.
-
-
-You can create custom dictionaries in your home-directory like
-~/.ispell_english.
-
-
-
- Dutch
-
-
- export DICTIONARY=nederlands
-
- or
-
- ispell -d nederlands file_name
-
-
-
-
- French
-
-
- export DICTIONARY=francais
-
- or
-
- ispell -d francais file_name
-
-
-
-
- German
-
-
- export DICTIONARY=deutsch
-
- or
-
- ispell -d deutsch file_name
-
-
-
-
- Walloon
-
-
- export DICTIONARY=walon
-
- or
-
- ispell -d walon file_name
-
-
-
-
- Multilanguage spelling
-
-By default Ispell will not work with multiple dictionaries but the solution
-is to work with the ~/.ispell_words file.
-
-
-If you don't want to make multi instance with Ispell, You can build
-~/.ispell_words with the words package by
-cp /usr/dict/words ~/.ispell_words; chmod +w ~/.ispell_words.
-
-
-
-
-
- Setting up Internet
-
-
- Dialing in with your modem (PPP)
-
-To configure PPP correctly, you should check the
-PPP-HOWTO.
-I try to explain it briefly, but if you have any questions or
-problems, read the HOWTO very carefully.
-
-
-
- Configuring the modem
-
-To configure your modem, you can alter the initstring of your modem.
-To learn more about your modem, check
-Ask Mr. Modem.
-
-
-
-If you have a winmodem you will probably not get it to work. More
-information about winmodems is at:
-.
-Work is underway, but winmodems are not as good as
-real modems.
-
-
-
-
- Installing pppd
-
-Now, you need to have the ppp-package installed (check this by typing
-pppd --version), make sure you have a recent
-one. Then you have to make sure you've got these files:
-
-
-
-/usr/local/bin/ppp
-
- #!/bin/sh
-
- case $1 in
- (on|start)
- TELEPHONE='555-1212' # The telephone number for the connection
- ACCOUNT='your_login' # The account name for logon (as in 'George Burns')
- PASSWORD='your_pass' # The password for this account (and 'Gracie Allen')
- INITSTRING='AT&F&C1&D2Z'# Modem initstring
- IPLOCAL=0.0.0.0 # Local IP address if known. Dynamic = 0.0.0.0
- IPREMOTE=0.0.0.0 # Remote IP address if desired. Normally 0.0.0.0
- DEVICE=/dev/ttyS1 # Serial Device com1=ttyS0, com2=ttyS1,...
- SPEED=57600 # 19200, 38400 or 57600 (don't try something different)
- export TELEPHONE ACCOUNT PASSWORD INITSTRING
- exec /usr/sbin/pppd $DEVICE $SPEED $IPLOCAL:$IPREMOTE \
- user $ACCOUNT connect /etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer
- ;;
- (off|stop)
- if [ -r /var/run/ppp0.pid ]; then
- kill -INT `cat /var/run/ppp0.pid`
- if [ ! "$?" = "0" ]; then
- rm -f /var/run/ppp0.pid
- echo "ERROR: Removed stale pid file"
- exit 1
- fi
- exit 0
- fi
- echo "ERROR: PPP link is not active on ppp0"
- exit 1
- ;;
- (info|status)
- /usr/sbin/pppstats
- ;;
- (*)
- echo "Usage: ppp on|off|info|start|stop|status";
- esac
-
-
-
-
- /etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer
-
- #!/bin/sh
-
- exec /usr/sbin/chat -v \
- REPORT CONNECTION \
- REPORT CARRIER \
- TIMEOUT 10 \
- ABORT '\nBUSY\r' \
- ABORT '\nNO ANSWER\r' \
- ABORT '\nNO CARRIER\r' \
- ABORT '\nNO DIALTONE\r' \
- ABORT '\nRINGING\r\n\r\nRINGING\r' \
- ABORT 'Invalid Login' \
- ABORT 'Login incorrect' \
- '' "\r$INITSTRING\r" \
- 'OK-+++\c-OK' 'ATH0' \
- TIMEOUT 45 \
- OK "ATDT$TELEPHONE" \
- CONNECT '\d\c' \
- ogin:--ogin: "$ACCOUNT" \
- ord: "$PASSWORD"
-
-
-You can remove the once everything looks
-normal.
-
-
-
-The pppd command uses /etc/ppp/options to list
-its options, change these options to whatever fits. These defaults
-normally work in most cases.
-
-
- asyncmap 20a0000
- crtscts
- debug
- default-mru
- defaultroute
- detach
- escape 11,13,ff
- hide-password
- ipcp-accept-local
- ipcp-accept-remote
- lcp-echo-failure 4
- lcp-echo-interval 400
- lock
- modem
- mtu 1500
- netmask 255.255.255.0
- noipdefault
- passive
-
- #idle 300
- #kdebug 0
- #-vj
-
-
-Once dialing in works like a charm, you can leave
- out.
-
-
-
-It is important to emphasize that every special
-character, thus every character that is not [a-ZA-Z0-9] and '_',
-should be escaped by preceding it with a '\'-character.
-Thus "e!b$l+" would become "e\!b\$l\+".
-Try it if you are having troubles !
-
-
-
-
- pap-secrets / chap-secrets
-
-If your ISP requires CHAP or PAP, you need one of these files with
-their proper username and password:
-
-
-
-/etc/ppp/pap-secrets or /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
-
- #client server secret IP
- your_login * your_pass *
-
-
-
-
-
- Network
-
-To configure your nameservers, change
-/etc/resolv.conf. If dialing in is succesful,
-but you can't get it to connect to URL's:
-this is probably the cause.
-
-
- domain domain_of_your_isp
- nameserver your_primary_nameserver
- nameserver your_secondary_nameserver
-
-
-
-
-
- File permissions
-
-Before you can run a (shell)script, it must be set executable. Be sure
-that you set the permissions so that other users cannot see the
-passwords stored in the files. If you want other users to be able to
-dial in, you might want to consider using sudo.
-You might want to do the following:
-
-
- chmod u+rw og-rwx -R /etc/ppp
- chmod u+x /etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer /usr/local/bin/ppp
-
-
-
-
-
- Dial + Hangup
-
-Then if /usr/local/bin is in
-your PATH, you can easily dial in with
-ppp on, hangup with ppp off
-and to get some statistics, you do: ppp status.

-This section does not aim to be a definitive guide on ISDN for Linux.
-For a more detailed discussion on the topic, see
-Paul Slootman's ISDN4Linux HOWTO
-and ISDN4Linux-FAQ.
-
-
-
- Updating the kernel
-
-If you're using a 2.2 kernel, it's recommended to get an updated
-version of the ISDN code. You can retrieve it
-from CVS at
-.
-For more information, check:
-
-
-
-
-If you've recently purchased an Eicon Diva 2.0 PCI
-(eg, via Belgacom), there's a good chance you've actually got a
-Diva 2.01.In this case, you must get a version dated 1 July 1999 or
-later !
-
-
-
-Once the ISDN is in place, you can start up the
-driver. Eg: modprobe hisax type=11 protocol=2
-Refer to the Readme's for the right parameters and values for your
-card.
-
-
-
-
- ISDN4Linux toolkit
-
-Next, you'll need the ISDN4Linux toolkit. You can retrieve the latest
-version of the toolkit at:
-
-
-
-
- Configuring the interface
-
-With the tools installed and configured, write a script to configure
-the interface, to be used for the ISDN connection.
-As always in Linux, there's no one correct way of doing this. I've
-put these in a script
-
-
-
-/etc/rc.d/rc.isdn:
-
- #!/bin/sh
-
- MSNREMOTE='555-1212' # Phone number of ISP
- MSNLOCAL='555-1313' # my number, without 0, with areacode
- ACCOUNT='george' # The account for logon (as 'George Burns')
- IPLOCAL=10.0.0.2 # my fixed IP (use 10.0.0.2 if no fixed)
- IPREMOTE=0.0.0.0 # IP number of ISP
- INTERFACE=ippp0
- /sbin/modprobe hisax type=11 protocol=2
- /sbin/isdnctrl verbose 3 system on
- /sbin/isdnctrl addif $IF
- /sbin/isdnctrl secure $IF on
- /sbin/isdnctrl addphone $IF out $MSNREMOTE
- /sbin/isdnctrl eaz $IF $MSNLOCAL
- /sbin/isdnctrl huptimeout $IF 300
- /sbin/isdnctrl l2_prot $IF hdlc
- /sbin/isdnctrl l3_prot $IF trans
- /sbin/isdnctrl encap $IF syncppp
- /sbin/isdnctrl dialmode $IF auto
- /sbin/ifconfig $IF $IPLOCAL pointopoint $IPREMOTE -arp -broadcast
- /sbin/ipppd /dev/ippp0 user $ACCOUNT $IPLOCAL:$IPREMOTE
-
-
-
-
-To start this at boot time, make it executable and append the
-following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
-
-
- if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.isdn ]; then
- . /etc/rc.d/rc.isdn
- fi
-
-
-
-
-The ipppd command gets its parameters passed
-through a file, /etc/ppp/ioptions:
-
-
- -ac
- -bsdcomp
- debug
- defaultroute
- ipcp-accept-local
- ipcp-accept-remote
- mru 1524
- mtu 1500
- noipdefault
- -pc
- useifip
- -vj
- -vjccomp
-
- #idle 360
- #persistent
-
-
-
-
-Do NOT specify +pap or +chap in this file. This
-specifies the authentication that ipppd should use for an INCOMING
-client. If you were to use this to connect to your ISP, ipppd would
-wait for the ISP to authenticate itself using the specified protocol.
-
-
-
-It is important to emphasize that every special
-character, thus every character that is not [a-ZA-Z0-9] and '_'
-should be escaped by preceding it with a '\'-character. Thus 'e!b$l+'
-would become 'e\!b\$l\+'. Try it if you are having troubles !
-
-
-
-Finally, create /etc/ppp/ip-down.local to handle
-the shutdown of the interface:
-
-
- #!/bin/sh
-
- /sbin/ifconfig $1 down
- sleep 1
- /sbin/ifconfig $1 10.0.0.2 pointopoint
-
-
-
-
- Note!
-
-This is to handle some problems with routes on
-shutdowns. Anyone know of a clean(er) solution ?
-
-
-
-
-
- pap-secrets / chap-secrets
-
-If your ISP uses PAP or CHAP, create a file
-/etc/ppp/pap-secrets or
-/etc/ppp/chap-secrets. Its format is:
-
- #client server secret IP
- your_login * your_pass *
-
-
-
-
-
- Network
-
-Not really related to ISDN, but a lot of people
-forget this step (too eager to try out all the stuff they typed in
-above ? :-)).
-
-
-
-Anyway, you need to configure the DNS, by creating a file
-/etc/resolv.conf:
-
- domain your_domain_of_your_isp
- nameserver your_primary_nameserver
- nameserver your_secondary_nameserver
-
-
-
-
-
- File permissions
-
-Before you can run a (shell)script, it must be set executable. Be sure
-that you set the permissions so that other users cannot see the
-passwords stored in the files. If you want other users to be able to
-dial in, you might want to consider using sudo.
-You might want to do the following:
-
-
- chmod u+rw og-rwx -r /etc/ppp
- chmod u+x /etc/rc.d/rc.isdn /etc/ppp/ip.down-local /usr/local/bin/isdn
-
-
-
-
-
- Dial + Hangup
-
-Finally, you can write a little wrapper to start and stop the ISDN
-connection. I've put this as /usr/local/bin/isdn:
-
-
- #!/bin/bash
-
- case $1 in
- (on|start)
- /sbin/isdnctrl dial ippp0
- ;;
- (off|stop)
- /sbin/isdnctrl hangup ippp0
- ;;
- (info|status)
- /sbin/isdnctrl list ippp0
- ;;
- (*)
- echo "Usage: isdn on|off|info|start|stop|status"
- esac
-
-
-
-
-Then if /usr/local/bin is in
-your PATH, you can easily dial in with
-isdn on and hangup with
-isdn off.

-DHCP was designed to make life easier, and most of
-the times it does ;) More information to set up your
-DHCP client can be found at:
-
-and a
-
-list of Frequently Asked Questions from the infamous document
-of John Wobus at
-
-which describes everything you need to know. Along with the
-information in the Cable-Modem HOWTO
-().
-
-
-
-Lots of people want to connect a whole network to their cablemodem,
-that's not a problem. You'll need
- IP-Masquerading
-and make sure the interface (that speaks to the cablemodem) has the
-right MAC-address !! Another solution (in case of
-problems) is to reset your cablemodem.

+ v1.1.8g, 16 February 2003
+
+
+
+This document describes how to configure Linux for Belgian users and
+lists Linux user groups, businesses and other resources in Belgium.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Introduction
+
+
+ Why this document?
+
+Since there was no information anywhere on the net for Belgian Linux
+users around 1998, we started to collect stuff that we thought could
+be important.
+This HOWTO aims to be the definitive list of all Belgian-related Linux
+information. If you think not, you have no excuse to complain and
+certainly not to not contribute. ;)
+
+
+
+
+ New versions of this document
+
+If you need to know more about the Linux Documentation Project or
+about Linux HOWTO's, feel free to contact the supervisor Tim Bynum
+linux-howto@sunsite.unc.edu.
+
+
+
+Tim Bynum will post the listing to several national and international
+newsgroups on a monthly basis. In addition, the Belgian HOWTO can be
+found on the World Wide Web at
+.
+New versions of the Belgian HOWTO are always placed at this site
+first, so please be sure to check if the copy you are reading is
+still up to date!

+This document is currently translated in 3 languages (English, Dutch
+and French), we're trying to keep all three of them in sync, but the
+English version is the source-document!

+
+
+
+
+ The Linux.be-domain debacle
+
+As you might have heard, Belgium also has its problem with the Linux.be
+domain. Similar to the Linux.nl case. Around March 1999, someone tricked
+the DNS administration about the trademark 'Linux' in Belgium by using
+'Linux' as a commercial representation of the company ('uithangbord')
+which was according to the rules of the DNS administration at that time.
+The company in fact was one that sold motor-parts and the registration was
+done with a fake fax containing a penguin.
+
+
+
+It is sad that the person who registered the Linux.be-domain name,
+did this behind the back of some Open Source volunteers who
+were planning to register a not-for-profit organisation to hold the domain
+name to prevent any abuse.
+
+
+
+Afterwards there were several meetings with this person to work out an
+agreement so that the domain was not used for commercial purposes and
+handed over to a neutral organisation. But after several attempts it
+was very clear that the owner wanted full control over the domain, which
+he later emphasized by 'handing it over' to his own not-for-profit
+organisation. He stated several times he wanted to keep the right to add
+advertissements to the website, but wouldn't mind that volunteers added
+content to the site (that was empty at the time). After this, no one was
+willing to work voluntarily for the content of the site. Sadly he managed
+to get some people volunteer for it after all.
+
+
+
+
+ Feedback
+
+If some information seems to be wrong, deceptive or missing, we'd
+appreciate if you mailed us the improvements. Since we're just human
+this document isn't bug-free, but your contribution can and will make
+a difference.
+
+
+
+To add yourself to the Linux user groups or businesses, collect all
+necessary information and mail it to us.

+
+
+ Configuration
+
+
+ Keyboard setup
+
+Linux provides 2 ways to set up your keyboard. At the console you can
+use loadkeys and under
+XFree86 you can use
+xmodmap.
+
+
+
+ Console
+
+To use the keytable for a Belgian keyboard you can use
+loadkeys be2-latin1 or
+loadkeys be-latin1.
+The only difference between the two is that be2-latin1 adds support
+for twosuperior and threesuperior (keycode 41) and grave (keycode 43).
+
+
+
+Usually loadkeys is started at boottime from the
+scripts located somewhere in
+/etc/rc.d.
+Different distributions handle it differently. Most distributions
+have a simple program (like kbdconfig in Red Hat,
+install-keymap in Debian or
+yast in SuSE) to change the behaviour of these
+scripts.
+
+
+
+
+ XFree86
+
+To set your keyboard properly under XFree86
+you've got more choices.
+By running Xconfigurator (or a similar program) a
+config-file for XFree86 is created (with
+some standard behaviour). This file is called
+XF86Config-4 or XF86Config
+and is usually located in
+/etc/X11 or
+/etc
+
+
+
+Make sure (and change otherwise) that something similar to this is
+given under the Keyboard Section.
+
+ Section "Keyboard"
+ Protocol "Standard"
+ XkbRules "xfree86"
+ XkbModel "pc101"
+ XkbLayout "be"
+ EndSection
+
+
+
+
+If you own a 'microsoft' keyboard (or the less-known penguin
+keyboards ;p) you can enable those extra 3 keys by changing the
+"pc101" into "pc104".
+(I use the extra keys as meta-keys in my windowmanager so some
+shortcuts don't conflict with the internal ones of my wm).
+
+
+
+To get the AltGr key to work under XFree86
+simply add in the Keyboard Section:
+
+
+ RightAlt ModeShift
+
+
+
+
+
+ Compose key
+
+Some people prefer to use a 'Compose'-key to enter their special characters, like:
+
+
+ Compose' e => é
+ Compose/ o => ø
+ Composec , => ç
+ Composec o => ©
+ Composes s => ß
+
+
+For XFree86, the solution is to enter xmodmap -e "keycode xx = Multi_key"
+or xmodmap -e "keysym yy = Multi_key"
+where 'xx' is the keycode or 'yy' the keysym of the key you choose to
+be the 'Compose'-key.
+(use xev to get these values)
+
+
+
+Alternatively you can add keycode xx = Multi_key
+to your ~/.xmodmaprc. This way it happens automagically.
+
+
+
+For the console, you could do something similar with loadkeys.
+echo "altgr keycode 52 = Compose" | loadkeys to use
+AltGr/ as a 'Compose'-key.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Display and applications
+
+Some applications have to be compiled as 8-bit clean to work well
+with the European characterset. Others like to be told in advance.
+
+
+
+ Using the ISO-8859-1 font in console
+
+You can load the ISO-8859-1 font by typing the following in console:
+
+ setfont lat1u-16.psf
+ mapscrn trivial
+ echo -ne '\033(K'
+
+
+
+
+To be able to use ë, è, é or ç in console,
+you might want to add these to your ~/.inputrc:
+
+ set meta-flag on
+ set convert-meta off
+ set output-meta on
+
+
+(This must be done for every user, if you want this to be default for
+all users you can either add this file to
+/etc/skel/ or you could add
+these lines to /etc/inputrc and add the
+following to /etc/bashrc,
+export INPUTRC=/etc/inputrc)
+
+
+
+ Note!
+
+This is only useful to programs that use readline
+(like bash)
+
+
+
+
+Also set the following environment variables:
+
+
+ LC_CTYPE=iso-8859-1
+ SYSFONT=lat1u-16.psf
+ SYSTERM=linux
+
+
+
+
+
+ Support for the Euro symbol
+
+Since Europe had to invent a new character, the Euro, there's a new
+standard. It's called ISO-8859-15 (aka Latin-9 or Latin-0). To add
+support you need both a new font and new keymaps. This is part of
+every major distribution nowadays, if you have an older distributions
+you probably need a newer console-tools package.
+
+
+
+There's more information in the
+Euro Character Support mini HOWTO
+
+
+
+
+
+ Time zone
+
+Since Belgium is located in the Central European Time zone (aka MET)
+which (in the winter) is equivalent to the Greenwhich Mean Time plus 1
+(GMT+1), you can simply link
+/usr/lib/zoneinfo/localtime/MET to
+/etc/localtime symbolicly like:
+
+
+ ln -sf /usr/lib/zoneinfo/MET /etc/localtime
+
+or
+
+ ln -sf /usr/lib/zoneinfo/Europe/Brussels /etc/localtime
+
+
+This automagically sets Daylight Savings (which is GMT+2 in the
+summer).
+
+
+
+ Note!
+
+Different distributions have different paths,
+zoneinfo can be located in
+/usr/share or such...
+
+
+
+
+ Another note!
+
+Red Hat uses a tool called timeconfig,
+SuSE uses yast
+
+
+
+
+To change the CMOS clock and then synchronize the
+system time with the CMOS clock, do something like
+this:
+
+
+ hwclock --set --date="Feb 25 03:38"
+ clock -u -s
+
+
+If your clock is set to local time (which is discouraged but if you
+also run broken OS's, you must), you can do:
+
+
+ hwclock --set --date="Feb 25 04:38"
+ clock -s
+
+
+[Noticed the 1 hour difference ? ;p]
+
+
+
+If your computer has Internet-access you can use
+NTP (Network Time Protocol) to keep your system
+clock in sync. One way of doing this is by starting ntpdate from
+cron by adding
+
+
+ 05 0 * * * root /usr/sbin/ntpdate -s ntp.belnet.be > /dev/null 2>&1
+
+
+to your /etc/crontab. Check the
+ISP-information below to see if your
+ISP has a NTP-server available.
+
+
+
+
+ Locale support
+
+Not much programs support locale yet, if you want to know more about
+locale or how to write your own programs to support it, check:
+[put the damn url here ;p]
+
+
+
+Be aware that locale makes it harder to resolve problems as less
+people can help you !! You might understand a problem when it's in
+technical English, but what if it's translated in some obscure
+Dutch ?
+
+
+
+ Dutch
+
+To enable support for the Dutch locale in Belgium on a system with
+locale support you just have to set the following environment
+variables:
+
+
+ LANG=nl
+ LANGUAGE=nl_BE
+
+
+Try nl_BE.ISO_8859-1 if nl_BE does not work.
+
+
+
+
+ French
+
+If you want French locale support in Belgium, set the following environment
+variabels:
+
+
+ LANG=fr
+ LANGUAGE=fr_BE
+
+
+Try fr_BE.ISO_8859-1 if fr_BE does not work.
+
+
+
+
+ German
+
+If you want instead German locale support in Belgium, set the
+following environment variabels:
+
+
+ LANG=de
+ LANGUAGE=de_BE
+
+
+Try de_BE.ISO_8859-1 if de_BE does not work.
+
+
+
+
+ Walloon
+
+For Walloon locale support you can find files and information at:
+.
+To use it set:
+
+
+ LANG=wa
+ LANGUAGE=wa_BE:fr_BE
+
+
+Try wa_BE.ISO_8859-1 if wa_BE does not work.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Native language support and codepages
+
+These options add support for the Belgian characterset and codepages.
+If you'd like to have these, compile a kernel with these options put
+on. They only apply to some filesystems (FAT-based,
+ISO9660, ...).
+
+
+ < > Codepage 850 (Europe)
+ < > NLS ISO 8859-1 (Latin 1; Western European Languages)
+ < > NLS ISO 8859-15 (Latin 9; Western European Languages with Euro)
+
+Located in Filesystems >
+Native Language Support
+
+
+
+If your kernel is a modular kernel that came with your distribution
+(=you never compiled a kernel before), then you might want to type:
+
+
+ insmod nls_cp850
+ insmod nls_iso8859_1
+ insmod nls_iso8859_15

+ Multilanguage spelling
+
+By default Ispell will not work with multiple dictionaries but the solution
+is to work with the ~/.ispell_words file.
+
+
+If you don't want to make multi instance with Ispell, You can build
+~/.ispell_words with the words package by
+cp /usr/dict/words ~/.ispell_words; chmod +w ~/.ispell_words.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Setting up Internet
+
+
+ Dialing in with your modem (PPP)
+
+To configure PPP correctly, you should check the
+PPP-HOWTO.
+I try to explain it briefly, but if you have any questions or
+problems, read the HOWTO very carefully.
+
+
+
+ Configuring the modem
+
+To configure your modem, you can alter the initstring of your modem.
+To learn more about your modem, check
+Ask Mr. Modem.
+
+
+
+If you have a winmodem you will probably not get it to work. More
+information about winmodems is at:
+.
+Work is underway, but winmodems are not as good as
+real modems.
+
+
+
+
+ Installing pppd
+
+Now, you need to have the ppp-package installed (check this by typing
+pppd --version), make sure you have a recent
+one. Then you have to make sure you've got these files:
+
+
+
+/usr/local/bin/ppp
+
+ #!/bin/sh
+
+ case $1 in
+ (on|start)
+ TELEPHONE='555-1212' # The telephone number for the connection
+ ACCOUNT='your_login' # The account name for logon (as in 'George Burns')
+ PASSWORD='your_pass' # The password for this account (and 'Gracie Allen')
+ INITSTRING='AT&F&C1&D2Z'# Modem initstring
+ IPLOCAL=0.0.0.0 # Local IP address if known. Dynamic = 0.0.0.0
+ IPREMOTE=0.0.0.0 # Remote IP address if desired. Normally 0.0.0.0
+ DEVICE=/dev/ttyS1 # Serial Device com1=ttyS0, com2=ttyS1,...
+ SPEED=57600 # 19200, 38400 or 57600 (don't try something different)
+ export TELEPHONE ACCOUNT PASSWORD INITSTRING
+ exec /usr/sbin/pppd $DEVICE $SPEED $IPLOCAL:$IPREMOTE \
+ user $ACCOUNT connect /etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer
+ ;;
+ (off|stop)
+ if [ -r /var/run/ppp0.pid ]; then
+ kill -INT `cat /var/run/ppp0.pid`
+ if [ ! "$?" = "0" ]; then
+ rm -f /var/run/ppp0.pid
+ echo "ERROR: Removed stale pid file"
+ exit 1
+ fi
+ exit 0
+ fi
+ echo "ERROR: PPP link is not active on ppp0"
+ exit 1
+ ;;
+ (info|status)
+ /usr/sbin/pppstats
+ ;;
+ (*)
+ echo "Usage: ppp on|off|info|start|stop|status";
+ esac
+
+
+
+
+ /etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer
+
+ #!/bin/sh
+
+ exec /usr/sbin/chat -v \
+ REPORT CONNECTION \
+ REPORT CARRIER \
+ TIMEOUT 10 \
+ ABORT '\nBUSY\r' \
+ ABORT '\nNO ANSWER\r' \
+ ABORT '\nNO CARRIER\r' \
+ ABORT '\nNO DIALTONE\r' \
+ ABORT '\nRINGING\r\n\r\nRINGING\r' \
+ ABORT 'Invalid Login' \
+ ABORT 'Login incorrect' \

+ TIMEOUT 45 \
+ OK "ATDT$TELEPHONE" \
+ CONNECT '\d\c' \
+ ogin:--ogin: "$ACCOUNT" \
+ ord: "$PASSWORD"
+
+
+You can remove the once everything looks
+normal.
+
+
+
+The pppd command uses /etc/ppp/options to list
+its options, change these options to whatever fits. These defaults
+normally work in most cases.
+
+
+ asyncmap 20a0000
+ crtscts
+ debug
+ default-mru
+ defaultroute
+ detach
+ escape 11,13,ff
+ hide-password
+ ipcp-accept-local
+ ipcp-accept-remote
+ lcp-echo-failure 4
+ lcp-echo-interval 400
+ lock
+ modem
+ mtu 1500
+ netmask 255.255.255.0
+ noipdefault
+ passive
+
+ #idle 300
+ #kdebug 0
+ #-vj
+
+
+Once dialing in works like a charm, you can leave
+ out.
+
+
+
+It is important to emphasize that every special
+character, thus every character that is not [a-ZA-Z0-9] and '_',
+should be escaped by preceding it with a '\'-character.
+Thus "e!b$l+" would become "e\!b\$l\+".
+Try it if you are having troubles !
+
+
+
+
+ pap-secrets / chap-secrets
+
+If your ISP requires CHAP or PAP, you need one of these files with
+their proper username and password:
+
+
+
+/etc/ppp/pap-secrets or /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
+
+ #client server secret IP
+ your_login * your_pass *
+
+
+
+
+
+ Network
+
+To configure your nameservers, change
+/etc/resolv.conf. If dialing in is succesful,
+but you can't get it to connect to URL's:
+this is probably the cause.
+
+
+ domain domain_of_your_isp
+ nameserver your_primary_nameserver
+ nameserver your_secondary_nameserver
+
+
+
+
+
+ File permissions
+
+Before you can run a (shell)script, it must be set executable. Be sure
+that you set the permissions so that other users cannot see the
+passwords stored in the files. If you want other users to be able to
+dial in, you might want to consider using sudo.
+You might want to do the following:
+
+
+ chmod u+rw og-rwx -R /etc/ppp
+ chmod u+x /etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer /usr/local/bin/ppp
+
+
+
+
+
+ Dial + Hangup
+
+Then if /usr/local/bin is in
+your PATH, you can easily dial in with
+ppp on, hangup with ppp off
+and to get some statistics, you do: ppp status.

+
+
+This section does not aim to be a definitive guide on ISDN for Linux.
+For a more detailed discussion on the topic, see
+Paul Slootman's ISDN4Linux HOWTO
+and ISDN4Linux-FAQ.
+
+
+
+ Updating the kernel
+
+If you're using a 2.2 kernel, it's recommended to get an updated
+version of the ISDN code. You can retrieve it
+from CVS at
+.
+For more information, check:
+
+
+
+
+If you've recently purchased an Eicon Diva 2.0 PCI
+(eg, via Belgacom), there's a good chance you've actually got a
+Diva 2.01.In this case, you must get a version dated 1 July 1999 or
+later !
+
+
+
+Once the ISDN is in place, you can start up the
+driver. Eg: modprobe hisax type=11 protocol=2
+Refer to the Readme's for the right parameters and values for your
+card.
+
+
+
+
+ ISDN4Linux toolkit
+
+Next, you'll need the ISDN4Linux toolkit. You can retrieve the latest
+version of the toolkit at:
+
+
+
+
+ Configuring the interface
+
+With the tools installed and configured, write a script to configure
+the interface, to be used for the ISDN connection.
+As always in Linux, there's no one correct way of doing this. I've
+put these in a script
+
+
+
+/etc/rc.d/rc.isdn:
+
+ #!/bin/sh
+
+ MSNREMOTE='555-1212' # Phone number of ISP
+ MSNLOCAL='555-1313' # my number, without 0, with areacode
+ ACCOUNT='george' # The account for logon (as 'George Burns')
+ IPLOCAL=10.0.0.2 # my fixed IP (use 10.0.0.2 if no fixed)
+ IPREMOTE=0.0.0.0 # IP number of ISP
+ INTERFACE=ippp0
+ /sbin/modprobe hisax type=11 protocol=2
+ /sbin/isdnctrl verbose 3 system on
+ /sbin/isdnctrl addif $IF
+ /sbin/isdnctrl secure $IF on
+ /sbin/isdnctrl addphone $IF out $MSNREMOTE
+ /sbin/isdnctrl eaz $IF $MSNLOCAL
+ /sbin/isdnctrl huptimeout $IF 300
+ /sbin/isdnctrl l2_prot $IF hdlc
+ /sbin/isdnctrl l3_prot $IF trans
+ /sbin/isdnctrl encap $IF syncppp
+ /sbin/isdnctrl dialmode $IF auto
+ /sbin/ifconfig $IF $IPLOCAL pointopoint $IPREMOTE -arp -broadcast
+ /sbin/ipppd /dev/ippp0 user $ACCOUNT $IPLOCAL:$IPREMOTE
+
+
+
+
+To start this at boot time, make it executable and append the
+following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+
+
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.isdn ]; then
+ . /etc/rc.d/rc.isdn
+ fi
+
+
+
+
+The ipppd command gets its parameters passed
+through a file, /etc/ppp/ioptions:
+
+
+ -ac
+ -bsdcomp
+ debug
+ defaultroute
+ ipcp-accept-local
+ ipcp-accept-remote
+ mru 1524
+ mtu 1500
+ noipdefault
+ -pc
+ useifip
+ -vj
+ -vjccomp
+
+ #idle 360
+ #persistent
+
+
+
+
+Do NOT specify +pap or +chap in this file. This
+specifies the authentication that ipppd should use for an INCOMING
+client. If you were to use this to connect to your ISP, ipppd would
+wait for the ISP to authenticate itself using the specified protocol.
+
+
+
+It is important to emphasize that every special
+character, thus every character that is not [a-ZA-Z0-9] and '_'
+should be escaped by preceding it with a '\'-character. Thus 'e!b$l+'
+would become 'e\!b\$l\+'. Try it if you are having troubles !
+
+
+
+Finally, create /etc/ppp/ip-down.local to handle
+the shutdown of the interface:
+
+
+ #!/bin/sh
+
+ /sbin/ifconfig $1 down
+ sleep 1
+ /sbin/ifconfig $1 10.0.0.2 pointopoint
+
+
+
+
+ Note!
+
+This is to handle some problems with routes on
+shutdowns. Anyone know of a clean(er) solution ?
+
+
+
+
+
+ pap-secrets / chap-secrets
+
+If your ISP uses PAP or CHAP, create a file
+/etc/ppp/pap-secrets or
+/etc/ppp/chap-secrets. Its format is:
+
+ #client server secret IP
+ your_login * your_pass *
+
+
+
+
+
+ Network
+
+Not really related to ISDN, but a lot of people
+forget this step (too eager to try out all the stuff they typed in
+above ? :-)).
+
+
+
+Anyway, you need to configure the DNS, by creating a file
+/etc/resolv.conf:
+
+ domain your_domain_of_your_isp
+ nameserver your_primary_nameserver
+ nameserver your_secondary_nameserver
+
+
+
+
+
+ File permissions
+
+Before you can run a (shell)script, it must be set executable. Be sure
+that you set the permissions so that other users cannot see the
+passwords stored in the files. If you want other users to be able to
+dial in, you might want to consider using sudo.
+You might want to do the following:
+
+
+ chmod u+rw og-rwx -r /etc/ppp
+ chmod u+x /etc/rc.d/rc.isdn /etc/ppp/ip.down-local /usr/local/bin/isdn
+
+
+
+
+
+ Dial + Hangup
+
+Finally, you can write a little wrapper to start and stop the ISDN
+connection. I've put this as /usr/local/bin/isdn:
+
+
+ #!/bin/bash
+
+ case $1 in
+ (on|start)
+ /sbin/isdnctrl dial ippp0
+ ;;
+ (off|stop)
+ /sbin/isdnctrl hangup ippp0
+ ;;
+ (info|status)
+ /sbin/isdnctrl list ippp0
+ ;;
+ (*)
+ echo "Usage: isdn on|off|info|start|stop|status"
+ esac
+
+
+
+
+Then if /usr/local/bin is in
+your PATH, you can easily dial in with
+isdn on and hangup with
+isdn off.

+
+
+
+Lots of people want to connect a whole network to their cablemodem,
+that's not a problem. You'll need
+ IP-Masquerading
+and make sure the interface (that speaks to the cablemodem) has the
+right MAC-address !! Another solution (in case of

+ IRC
+
+The fastest medium to get support is IRC, but
+beware. Because IRC is rather anonymous it's also
+easy to deceive people.
+
+
+
+On IRCnet there's a channel called #linux.be that is closely related
+to bcol and the Belgian Linux-scene. The channel is still small, but
+it surely will grow in time. To get help in English, there's only one
+place #linux.
+
+
+
+Also Dalnet has a #linux.be channel.
