Subject: Re: Help - core dumps Rajat Patni forced the electrons to say: > Hi all, > What are core dumps, and how can they be debugged? > When a program that is running tells the operating system to do something which the OS cannot do, either because it is beyond the capabilities of the OS/processor (eg: x = 0; y = 1/x;) or because it tries to access memory in which it has no business (eg: char *p = malloc (5); p[10] = 'a';), the OS kills the program, and stores the memory information about the program in a file called core in the working directory of the program. The core file has the details of the stack of the program to aid in debugging. Thus, by just invoking gdb on the core file (gdb a.out core) and tracing the stack backwards, one can exactly pinpoint the location where the program crashed. The gdb command to trace the stack is bt or backtrace. Note that SUID root programs don't dump core. You can also manually force a core dump by doing a kill -ABRT to maybe find out why a particular program is taking too much time to run. You should compile the source code with the -g flag to the compiler to enable debugging.

When I dial using X-ISP (which I've been using for about 9 months now) it used to always show me GMT and I used to wonder why X-isp is doing this?! I've just been playing around with Javascripts and I discover that my scripts always display current time about 5 1/2 hrs backword; in other words GMT! instead of IST.Shucks.

So far I'd been using it and internally complaining that it wouldn't let me view anything except text-type files. Then I discovered these few programs and features which make life so much easier: - - Zgv: allows you to view graphics on the console. Handles JPEG, GIF, PBM, tons of formats and uses SVGALIB. - - Ghostscript: if compiled with the appropriate drivers, renders PostScript and PDF documents on the console using SVGALIB. - - The lynx.cfg file, which allows you to tie all these programs into Lynx and let it handle all sorts of mime types. Now I've configured my Lynx to automatically convert all graphics on a page to links and download and display any I choose with the click of a button (yeah, Lynx does mice also, didntcha know?). No more waiting 3 minutes for Netscape to load up just to hit userfriendly.org! And PS and PDF files are a snap now that I've told Lynx to automatically render them using Ghostscript. Lynx is also smart enough to figure out if you're using it in X, and you can specify different commands to render objects depending on whether you're in X or not. E.g. use zgv to render graphics on console and xv to render them in X. If anyone's interested I can post (or put up on a web page) the required commands and configurations to help make Lynx your default browser with no loss of information.

O! how lovely! Why not? Please post! Would like to hear your expert comments on the foll. specific things too: How does, if it does, lynx handle cookies? How does it handle badly done webpages that don't support non-frames browsers? How do I configure pine (mail reader) to use lynx to view URLs? And btw, a little off topic, how do you get pine to netscape instead? Is it possible at all?

I have set all the environment variables in /etc/profile. But when linux tries to start postgres service on startup it gives me error pointing to to the path that the database not found cannot open file pg_class. But that file is present in /usr/lib/pgsql/data/base/postgres directory. I think while booting the master database is being accessed using a different login and hence the above problem. Can anybody tell me how to change this so that on booting the master catalog file is accessed from postgres super-user login. I think this will solve my problem. But I could not figure out where to make the changes. Waiting for your response.

It will list the frames which are there in the page. =>How do I configure pine (mail reader) to use lynx to view URLs? now pine has two features : o one is to view url's that came in the mail o other is text/html attachments. Solutions to first : pine,main,setup,config url-viewers = /usr/bin/lynx change it to netscape if you want, or to a shell script which tests that if you are in an xterm lanych netscape, else lynx. =>And btw, a little off topic, how do you get pine to netscape instead?

These are different kind of cables that you can connect to your network card. Does your network card have several inpout/output available ? if yes then you hav eto tell it the one it must use (the one where you put the cable). 10 base T is a twisted pair cable (with RJ45 connector), you need a crossed-over cable to link two computers without using a hub with this cable. 10 base 2 is a coaxial cable, you need 2 T and 2 terminators to link your two computers with this cable.

One is to edit the lynx.cfg file and put in the relevant information for your proxy server. Look for lines like http_proxy=http://www.proxy.cm:80/. If your proxy server requires authentication, you can set that up also. The second method is to put the proxy server name in the environment. Put the line export http_proxy=http://www.proxy.com:80/ in your bash profile file, and fire up lynx. You can authenticate by adding the command line argument - -auth=user:passwd.

You can also buy any of the many Linux books available locally. The reason - an answer to your question is way too lengthy and it will take anybody a better part of two hours to state it even partially in a manner which you can understand. hope this helps. If you have a Linux CD, check for files such as Install.txt, Install, Readme etc.. Many of these files contain installation instructions. My advise would be to get a printout and keep it with you as you begin installation. hope this helps.

See, we all make spelling mistakes once in a while. I'm not saying that we should read it a dozen times through a spell checker before posting, but this man has a very annoying signature which goes like: - ---- BYE. Will Keep In Touch. Plz ignore any spelling and gramatical bugs. - ---- What's most annonying is use of slangs/shortcuts (Plz, u, r etc.) when they aren't necessary. And the above signature has a spelling bug in itself.(finding it is left as an exercise). By "experienced internet users" it is not meant for those who are into chatting since the last 5 years, but who are probably into more technicalities of networking, computing etc. (which raj surely is). Anyway, the net etiquettes for irc and e-mail is different, and any `experienced' internet user will tell you this. Having an occasional spelling mistake is by no means a problem, but having a apology for that in .signature file surely is. It shows how careless you are. Plain, simple english is what we expect, and nothing more. Lately, people (more of newbies) have come to think, that in chat/email one has to use "u" or "r" in order to stay with the world. And don't come telling me that's the way e-mail works. These shortcuts are for those (winduhs?) users who only know how to use the mouse, not the keyboard. Ok, even SMTP has a spelling bug in HELO, but i won't sue it for that ;-). Regards, Lokesh Setia, On Mon, 2 Aug 1999, Prem Kurian Philip wrote: > Hi there! > > Oh please!

PLease advise in this regard Please do not send me personal mails on this. Send it to the list instead. First boot to windows and find out what video and sound cards you have.

I've checked the mixer settings also. I would say, check your mixer settings again. If everthing has been set for maximum volume and you find that the volume is still low, then you have two options: (a) Do a usenet search (I use www.deja.com) for ES1371, linux and volume. (b) Look into the sources linux/drivers/sound/es1371.c and see if you can play around with some of the stuff over there.

While searching the archive, we use 'ZCat' and 'grep'. The problem comes here: For the projected data volumes, the system must support a read and write per day of app. 13 terabytes. In order to reduce this figure, we are looking at some solution for searching through a compressed file without uncompressing it. (Though ZCat does this without uncompressing to a file explicitly, it actually uncompresses and redirects to standard output.) Please could you give me more information on the following: Is it possible to search for a pattern/string through a compressed file without uncompressing it? If yes, is there any utility that supports this (for Unix)? If it is not possible to search without uncompressing, is there any other way of reducing the reads/writes to the primary hard disk system? - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks - - Himadri - -------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux in India visit http://www.linux-india.org/ The Linux India mailing list does not accept postings in HTML format. ------------------------------ From amundra@giasbma.vsnl.net.in Mon Aug 2 23:4:6 1999 Date: Tue, 3 Aug 1999 11:04:06 +0500 (IST) From: "ATUL.G.MUNDRA" Subject: Re: This page best viewed with Lynx On Sun, 1 Aug 1999, Raj Mathur wrote: => =>Now I've configured my Lynx to automatically convert all graphics on a =>page to links and download and display any I choose with the click of =>a button (yeah, Lynx does mice also, didntcha know?).

While searching the archive, we use 'ZCat' and 'grep'. The problem comes here: For the projected data volumes, the system must support a read and write per day of app. 13 terabytes. In order to reduce this figure, we are looking at some solution for searching through a compressed file without uncompressing it.

I suspect that you are "spoilt" by PCQ's Linux CDs. ;-) When you run our pcqupdt, it creates a number of scripts, some of which set up this forwarding for you. To you, this would have appeared like it was part of RHL 5.2's setup, and you may have assumed that this would have automatically been setup from any RHL CD (including CHIP's). I suggest that you run the pcqupdt from the March 99 PCQ CD to fix your CHIP Linux CD installation. Answer "no" to everything except the question about enabling gatewaying (and possibly setting up your DNS). Once you have done that, examine the files and changes created - specifically /etc/rc.d/rc.local and /etc/rc.d/rc.fw. Atul p.s. You could, of course, wait for PCQ's RHL 6.0a CD, which should be available in a month or two. However, I suspect that patience is *not* a virtue commonly found in such situations. ;-) - -------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux in India visit http://www.linux-india.org/ The Linux India mailing list does not accept postings in HTML format. ------------------------------ From achitnis@cbconsulting.com Mon Aug 2 23:47:51 1999 Date: Tue, 3 Aug 1999 12:17:51 +0530 (IST) From: Atul Chitnis Subject: Re: Adduser: strange -p option on RH5.2 > I am not sure if you have understood my problem, this is got nothing to do > with encryption.

I assume that you have configured your Linux machine to access the net properly and it is doing it, but unless the routes are properly set up, the packets won't be forwarded out of the Linux server to the external network. The Linux gateway should be using a split arrangement whereby the device attached to the inner lan is setup with a private ip address etc and the rest of the lan is similarly configured within the same range of private ip addresses. You can check to see if the Linux is accessible at all from the lan by pinging it from one of the client machines on the lan using the privately assigned ip address for the Linux server. If this works, you will need to check the routing on the Linux box.

Nope, rh6.0 useradd has that option, only it's not documented in the man page. Just typing useradd brings up the options and -p is one of them. '-p passwd' is how it's mentioned. And it behaves exactly like chetan said. In rh6.0 the string entered after the -p goes as is to the shadow file. (The -p option exists for usermod also.) By coincidence i happened to use it too yesterday just before i saw chetan's first message. And by the way, a really naive question. When a new user is created with useradd, what is the default password set by the system? I just couldnt figure this out, and couldnt do a login. That's how i came to use that -p. A simple 'useradd name' created a '!!' entry in the encrypted password field in /etc/shadow. I then tried 'passwd -u name', as mentioned in the man page for passwd, to unlock the password, if that's what it was. This didnt work, so i then used 'passwd -f name' to create a new password for the new user. - -- prakash - -------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux in India visit http://www.linux-india.org/ The Linux India mailing list does not accept postings in HTML format. ------------------------------ From pkphilip@bigfoot.com Tue Aug 3 1:56:25 1999 Date: Tue, 3 Aug 1999 14:26:25 +0530 From: "Prem Kurian Philip" Subject: Re: Help me out Hi Abhishek, SiS eh ? you will need to get the X windows version with the Sis card stuff.....check out the archives of this list..

Since the entry in RH?.? in the /etc/passwd file is !!, which is just 2 characters, it will not match _any_ password after encryption, so login will fail.

So with this abundant hacking, can the > users be safe > with Linux ? Is there a way out of this catch ? Don't mis-use the term 'hack' as too aften on TV. Linux is the most hacked system, that is sure. But you can not do any harm by hacking your system. Hackers are NOT crackers. The opposite might be more true: crackers often are hackers too. Windows is the most cracked system. You see the difference? Most cracked because most installed and never patched against holes. Windows is a nightmare for an administrator: holes are exposed on rootshell and no patch comes to correct this. The result is that even children playing with their computers can crack these systems. The holes exposed months ago are still valid ones... Now the same administrator with linux can patch his system the day after the problem is found. Far less chance that stupid guys trying to be important crack their system by using rootshell infos. There are not that much crackers able to find a hole and the way to use it. They exist, but they are not so numerous. The problem comes from the less clever ones, using the security sites to take a complete crack solution. Now linux with its open source have exposed its internals to thousands of people looking for holes. Holes are surely still existing, but the cracker has to be more and more clever. He has to understand the internals of packet re-assembly, the differences between the other systems to take advantage of this. Far more: the guy who discover this will fix his name in the kernel sources by releasing the patch correcting the problem. Just one thing more: give me the name of the system that no-one could crack. give me the name of the system that can have patches available faster than linux. > > BTW, I am not against open sourcing the softwares. ;-) neither do I :-) > Suvendra pascal - -------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux in India visit http://www.linux-india.org/ The Linux India mailing list does not accept postings in HTML format. ------------------------------ From sundeep@linux-delhi.org Tue Aug 3 5:3:7 1999 Date: Tue, 3 Aug 1999 17:33:07 +0530 From: "Sundeep Holani" Subject: Re: Reconfiguring Ethernet Card Hi, > If ur ethernet driver is modular, the you need to edit /etc/conf.modules > to put appropriate module name in that file.

(Though ZCat does > this without uncompressing to a file > explicitly, it actually uncompresses and redirects to standard output.) compress uses LZW compression algorithm, which works by constructing commonly occuring strings into a table and compressing the whole string into a single number (its index in the table). LZW is patented - so gzip uses a slightly different unpatented method (LZ77). So potentially you can do a better job of string searching than zcat file | grep (which is what zgrep seems to do), by constructing the string table yourself (which requires scanning the file - but if you're lucky you might find the string which you're searching for early), getting the index of the string and then searching the rest of the file for a number (the index), which is certainly likely to give you some speedups. > Please could you give me more information on the following: But given that no one has done what I've proposed above, it appears that the gains are quite limited. In any case, if you have such large amounts of data, you should store it in a database and index it, rather than searching the data using grep. The search will be much faster that way. If your database doesn't compress the data itself, you can use filesystem level compression. -Arun - -------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux in India visit http://www.linux-india.org/ The Linux India mailing list does not accept postings in HTML format. ------------------------------ From adsharma@home.com Tue Aug 3 11:18:2 1999 Date: Tue, 3 Aug 1999 11:18:02 -0700 From: Arun Sharma Subject: Re: Adduser: strange -p option on RH5.2 On Tue, Aug 03, 1999 at 12:05:22PM +0530, Chetan Kumar wrote: > On Mon, 2 Aug 1999, Arun Sharma wrote: > > *>On Mon, Aug 02, 1999 at 10:50:06AM +0530, Chetan Kumar wrote: > *> > *>> > *>> Why is this so ??? > *> > *>This may have something to do with the MD5 based password scheme that > *>RH introduced instead of DES based ones.

Something like parameter with -p option > expects the admin to give an encrypted passwd this is strange to me I did understand your problem - but my reply was not to the point. Sometimes sysadmins have access to a UNIX machine A, where user X has an account and the sysadmin can see his /etc/passwd entry. Now he wants to create an account for the same user X, with the same passwd, but different shell etc on a RH 6.0 machine B. He can do that by cutting and pasting the DES encrypted passwd on to the useradd command line. The other explanation that I was thinking of was using an external utility to compute the MD5 hash and pasting it onto the useradd commnad line, but on second thoughts, I think that's plain stupid. -Arun - -------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux in India visit http://www.linux-india.org/ The Linux India mailing list does not accept postings in HTML format. ------------------------------ From rfowkar@goa1.dot.net.in Tue Aug 3 16:26:24 1999 Date: Tue, 3 Aug 1999 19:26:24 -0400 From: Rajesh Fowkar Subject: kmail attachments Hi friends, Whenever anybody sends me an attachment, in Kmail I get only one file named unnamed at the bottom of the mail instead of the actual attachment file.

If you're not using PIII programs which use SIMD (or SSE - Intel officialese) just stick with 2.2.5.15. But if you absolutely must use the PIII instructions, then you should get the patch and recompile 2.2.10 and enable all hardware support you need (try make xconfig). Then do make modules; make modules_install Look at the kernel README file for more on kernel compilation. -Arun - -------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux in India visit http://www.linux-india.org/ The Linux India mailing list does not accept postings in HTML format. ------------------------------ From adsharma@home.com Tue Aug 3 11:32:34 1999 Date: Tue, 3 Aug 1999 11:32:34 -0700 From: Arun Sharma Subject: Re: Is Linux creating a new breed of Hackers ?

I don't know what statistics you have to support your claim that Linux is the most broken into system. You are under the false belief that software whose source code is not freely available is more secure. This is termed as 'security by obscurity' in the security consultants circle. Years of experience has to shown that security by obscurity does not work. The more eyeballs you have looking at your code, the faster bugs get isolated and fixed. When the SYN cookie attack exploit was dicovered a couple of years ago Linux was the first OS which fixed it. The commercial OSes came out with a patch in about a month or so.

Is there some way around. Someone suggested modifying the zcat code. Or else I guess the 13Tera file will have to be split into manageable chunks which don't load the primary HD and then zgrep'ed. - -------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux in India visit http://www.linux-india.org/ The Linux India mailing list does not accept postings in HTML format. ------------------------------ From akshata@giasdla.vsnl.net.in Wed Aug 4 2:2:14 1999 Date: Wed, 4 Aug 1999 14:32:14 +0530 From: "Aranya" Subject: Re: Star Office 5.0 on Red Hat 6.0 ?? We've had a nice, long discussion about this some time back on the list and all of us came to the conclusion that the SO which came on the CHIP CD will not work with RH 6.0. The problem is because SO uses some undocumented features of the old glibc which were removed in the new version.

Mac Airlines All the stewards, captains, baggage handlers, and ticket agents look and act exactly the same. Every time you ask questions about details, you are gently but firmly told that you don't need to know, don't want to know, and everything will be done for you without your ever having to know, so just shut up. Windows Air The terminal is pretty and colorful, with friendly stewards, easy baggage check and boarding, and a smooth take-off. After about 10 minutes in the air, the plane explodes with no warning whatsoever. Windows NT Air Just like Windows Air, but costs more, uses much bigger planes, and takes out all the other aircraft within a 40-mile radius when it explodes. Linux Air Disgruntled employees of all the other OS airlines decide to start their own airline. They build the planes, ticket counters, and pave the runways themselves. They charge a small fee to cover the cost of printing the ticket, but you can also download and print the ticket yourself. When you board the plane, you are given a seat, four bolts, a wrench and a copy of the seat-HOWTO.html. Once settled, the fully adjustable seat is very comfortable, the plan leaves and arrives on time without a single problem, the in-flight meal is wonderful. You try to tell customers of the other airlines about the great trip, but all they can say is, "You had to do what with the seat?" - -------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux in India visit http://www.linux-india.org/ The Linux India mailing list does not accept postings in HTML format. ------------------------------ End of Linux India Digest V1 #150 ********************************* -------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send an email to majordomo@aunet.org with the word 'unsubscribe linux-india-digest' (without the quotes) in the body of the email.

The rules are: - - The article should describe the technology and its application - - The article should be in *HUMANESE* (tm Atul Chitnis ;-). Technojabber (tm Microsoft) goes to /dev/null. BTW - Humanese does not mean MTV-style talk - PCQ is read by people. - - The article should be complete, not an outline. Articles that read like a "ToDo list" are no use to anyone. - - Plenty of examples, but not *only* examples. - - The technology described should be current/contemporary. - - Wherever applicable, software/data relevant to the article should be made available well in advance for inclusion on the CD. - - Raw text should not exceed 2 pages (4000 chars including spaces per page), and visuals, if any (desirable!), should be included in a reasonably common graphic format. (note - PostScript is *not* a graphic format). - - The earlier the article is submitted, the more chance you get to fine-tune the article based on suggestions from PCQ. - - No advocacy or product/platform bashing - highlighting the technology/product's strengths and weaknesses is all that matters. - - This is probably not of too much importance to Gurunandan, but to answer a commonly asked question - yes, PCQ does pay for articles it prints.

Hi, I am planning to get a new computer for myself and am considering a SMP box. The ABIT mother board suggested by Arun doesnot seem to be available in India. Can someone suggest a good motherboard available in India (delhi)that can accomodate two socket 370 celerons. Has anybody managed to use the SoundBlaster Live sound card with Linux? I hear that its a terrific card, but i guess it'd be no use if linux doesnt exploit all its features.Do we have a driver specifically for this card? I did make a search...but with no useful results. And now a couple of silly questions, 1)Would a SMP box work if say, there is only one processor sitting on a dual processor motherboard and the other slot is empty. 2)If I use, say, two Celeron 366MHz's, should I expect a performance equivalent to 732MHz ? 3)Would it be possible(even theoretically) to have a motherboard that can use my old Pentium200MMX and a new Pentium II or celeron simultaneously. I'd be greatly indebted if you could explain why not.

Only after reading this mail you will realise the importance of each and every word mentioned to explain my problem. I have installed postgres 6.4 from CHIP SPECIAL CD 2. I have done the setup and created the databases as per the documentation. Currently my postgres status is as follows : PGDATA=/usr/lib/pgsql PGLIB=/usr/lib/pgsql drwxr_xr_x /usr/lib/pgsql drwx_____ /usr/lib/pgsql/base drwx_____ /usr/lib/pgsql/template1 along with /usr/lib/pgsql/postgres and other directories for the databases I have created. My problem is when I start the PC during postgres service startup I get error message saying that /usr/bin/postmaster does not find the database system, expected to find in path PGDATA /usr/lib/pgsql but unable to find file with path /usr/lib/pgsql/base/template1/pg_class. as a result postmaster does not start the service during startup. I have to login as postgres and start the postmaster service manually. From postgres login postmaster starts and from a different console I can access my postgres databases. Why the postgres system service is not starting ? Where am I going wrong ? Please help me. At work I am working on INTEGRA RDBMS package. When I came to know that there is RDBMS package called postgressql I was excited and installed it and now even able to use it but everytime I have to login as postgres in order to start postmaster.

Remember to note your liux partition like /dev/hda5. Copy your kernel image vmlinuz (about 500kb) to dos/window partition. Boot in window and select dos.

But when linux tries to start postgres service on startup it gives me error pointing to to the path that the database not found cannot open file pg_class. But that file is present in /usr/lib/pgsql/data/base/postgres directory. I think while booting the master database is being accessed using a different login and hence the above problem.

I have PacBell's Extended DSL (5 static IPs). I want both my current Debian box and the soon to be bought FreeBSD to be reachable from the open internet. What kind of expandable ethernet hub would you folks recommend? I was thinking of hooking up the hub to the PacBell DSL line and hooking up the Debian and FreeBSD boxen to the hub. Would I have any problems with this? 2. The headless box would not have a keyboard, floppy disk drive, CDROM drive or monitor. Is it possible to use that machine's serial port to install FreeBSD on it from my Debian box? Any pointers on info on serial installation?

Create a primary partition and change its type to "Linux swap". Primary and swap are not mutually exclusive. You can have a partition that is both. -Arun - -------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux in India visit http://www.linux-india.org/ The Linux India mailing list does not accept postings in HTML format. ------------------------------ From adsharma@home.com Wed Aug 4 20:8:53 1999 Date: Wed, 4 Aug 1999 20:08:53 -0700 From: Arun Sharma Subject: Re: [Q] OT Installing FreeBSD on a headless machine...

I had to create a primary partition, then change the type to linux-extended and then create lofical drives in it. But the total number of primary partitions (as I have mentioned before) is 4 (hda1,hda2,hda3,hda4), I've exhausted all of these as below:- hda1 - dos primary hda2 - dos extended hda3 - linux-native primary hda4 - linux-swap Now the total number of primary partitions that linux fdisk allows is 4, which I've finished. So I can't create one more primary partition and then change it to extended. What I actually want to know is how to change the ID of the partitions (like I want to change the id of swap partition from hda4 to hda5 or hda6.) Regarding the Lilo usage wrt booting in a slave disk. My d: is the slave primary drive. I'd said "sys d:" and made it bootable. Checked it out by making it master. Then I reconfigured Lilo to include this drive by adding the following entries:-(my slave hdd is recognised as hdb) other=/dev/hdb1 label=slave table=/dev/hdb But as soon as Lilo went to the slave disk, I got a mesg that"Invalid system disk".

You're advised not to be logged in as root, for your own good :) However, if you want to login as user foo, everytime you turn on Linux, you could put something in /etc/inittab that effectively does: su -c startx foo with startkde in your .xinitrc. > > 2) In Win 98, a click on the middle mouse button of my Logitech Mouse is > configured to act as a double-click.

So I can't create one more primary > partition and then > change it to extended. Your problem is: There can be only ONE extended partition on the same drive. What you need to do is: 1/ delete all the linux stuff you just made. 2/ make your dos extended partition take the whole drive 3/ inthis extended partition, create a first logical drive for dos (same size as before, leave some room for linux) 4/ create you linux partitions in the dos extended one. If you decide to delete and recreate the dos extended partition to make it bigger, then i advise you to go for this setup: hda1 -dos primary hda2 -linux root filesystem (lets say 150Mo) hda3 -linux swap hda4 -extended partition hda5 -dos logical drive hda6 -linux /usr filesystem hda7 -linux /home filesystem ... for this, you will need to delete your dos extended partition, start installing linux (create all the other partitions with linux fdisk). Boot in linux, erase the first sectors of the dos partition (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdaXXX) (see fdisk man for the reason of this) Then go back to dos and format your logical drive. Hope this helps pascal - -------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux in India visit http://www.linux-india.org/ The Linux India mailing list does not accept postings in HTML format. ------------------------------ From sunil@nicfos.ernet.in Thu Aug 5 4:25:34 1999 Date: Thu, 5 Aug 1999 12:25:34 +0100 From: Sunil Sarat Subject: Re: how to use squid? > Hi > Saw one mail regarding squid.

The option is given during installation. I find it preferrable to install lilo on linux partition and make that partition active. With this if linux partition fails, MBR is not affected. All you have to do is to get a diskette, boot from it, run fdisk and change active partition to windoze.

I saw the Casio BN-20, it's supposed to be a Buiness Navigator and has a sync cord to sync it with your PC, a 2MB memory amongst other goodies, besides it's only 7k.

All distros contain a copy of Loadlin.exe and loadlin.gz(a zip file of all the related documents). Its available in Chip Aug 99 CD. Remember to do it form dos and not windoze, windoze needs to shut down. So you can't replace Windoze with Linux in RAM. If you don't have dos 6.22 do a "Restart in MS-Dos mode " and then execute loadlin.

Well, assuming that RedHat actually *releases* a PowerTools for RHL 6.0, we can try and make a selection from that.

In the case of Linux India I go through the bounced messages once a day and use majordomo's bounce command to move these users to the bounce mailing list. I also have a cron job that sends out a reminder to the users in the bounce mailing list periodically. Don't know if doing something at the ISP end is recommended.

Sun OS derived from BSD. So did older versions of IRIX, for that matter. In an attempt to "standardize" unix AT&T and Sun got together to create SVR(4?). SVR combined the best features of AT&T-isms andBSD-isms. Solaris, an implementation of SVR, was the result of this joint effort. The other unix vendors (SGI, HP, IBM et. al.) looked at this move as trying to muscle them out of the marketplace. That is why they went ahead and formed their own exclusive club: Open Software Foundation (OSF). The situation has become much more complex since then. There is a lot of interbreeding. Take, for example, Solaris shipping with its own version of a windowing system (Open Windows) along with the "standard" (X, which, incidentally, is owned by X Consortium which is part of the OSF). People interested in Unix history can read 'Life With Unix' or 'A Quarter Century of Unix'. Thaths - -- "Don't go easy on each other just because you're brother and sister.

Of course gatewaying is enabled, that is why nodes show time out error when server is connected to net and show network unreachable when server is disconnected. well after a lot of pondering i think i shall have to set up this time out value somewhere in server .. but where .. that is puzzle for me. anyway thanx for ur help. amit goel - -----Original Message----- From: Atul Chitnis To: Linux India Date: Thursday, August 05, 1999 12:33 AM Subject: Re: Help in gatewaying - more info about network >> The only catch is clients are getting timed out response when trying to use >> linux server as gateway. >> >> Also none of the 'gated' and 'routed' daemon is running, do I have to run >> one of them to get it working for me ? >> >> I have set IP_FORWARD = yes in network configuration. >> >> I have not yet used any of the firewalling commands like ipchains or >> ipfwadm. > >I suspect that you are "spoilt" by PCQ's Linux CDs. ;-) > >When you run our pcqupdt, it creates a number of scripts, some of which >set up this forwarding for you.
