anyone have libc6_2.0.7pre1-4.deb (for intel) ?
I'm trying to figure out what broke my rsh and rlogin to user root. If I do rsh -l root localhost cmd I get rcmd: localhost: Success as output, the cmd never happens, and there's nothing useful in the log files. I just recently upgraded to libc6_2.0.7r-2, so I'm suspecting the code in rcmd() code to start. - rick -- Richard Kilgore | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Electrical Computer Engineering | http://lore.ece.utexas.edu/~rkilgore/ The University of Texas at Austin | (512) 471-8011 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Problems with dual boot NT/linux
On Wed, Feb 04, 1998 at 11:36:00AM -0500, Richardson,Anthony wrote: I suspect that the NT boot sector was somehow corrupted. This code reads the NT boot.ini file and allows you to dual boot between DOS/NT. You can restore the NT boot sector. You'll need to make a set of (three) NT installation disks off of the NT CD. Boot to disk one, and insert disk two when prompted. Eventually you'll reach a menu asking if you want to install NT or fix a previously installed NT setup. Take the fix or repair option. I don't remember the exact set of menu options, but when I did it all of the directions seemed to be pretty clear. The whole process takes about 10 minutes tops. Another alternative for fixing the NT boot sector is to get BootPart at http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/gvollant/bootpart.htm. This is a handy utility to have anyway. - rick -- Richard Kilgore | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Electrical Computer Engineering | http://lore.ece.utexas.edu/~rkilgore/ The University of Texas at Austin | (512) 471-8011 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: procmail and folders
On Mon, Feb 02, 1998 at 05:13:36PM +0200, Catalin Popescu wrote: Thank you to everybody answering my question on procmail and smail. I've put the files .forward and .procmailrc, modified the USERNAME to my usernaname (ie cpopescu), but it still does not work. Do I have to create the files where procmail is supposed to save the incoming messages? Is there something wrong with permissions? Don't know if you're interested in this input, but if you use sendmail instead of smail, it can just automatically use procmail to deliver mail. Thus, you don't need a .forward file at all. You just have to make sure that procmail is installed and deliver is not when you install sendmail. Then sendmail will configure itself to use procmail for all local mail delivery. Configuring sendmail can be a bit of a bitch, but I found it to be quite manageable this last time around, because /usr/sbin/sendmailconfig, which is run automatically when sendmail is first installed, asks relatively intelligible questions, explaining each as it goes, and creates sendmail.cf for you. Even better, it actually first creates a file called /etc/mail/sendmail.mc, which is a handful of m4 commands that are used to create sendmail.cf. But the sendmail.mc is a much more human readable (and WAY shorter) file. So if you want, you can easily quickly modify stuff in the sendmail.mc file to try stuff out. good luck! - rick -- Richard Kilgore | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Electrical Computer Engineering | http://lore.ece.utexas.edu/~rkilgore/ The University of Texas at Austin | (512) 471-8011 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

dhcpcd broke?
I just upgraded all my systems to the latest hamm stuff, and everything seems to work fine except for dhcpcd on the host connected to my cable modem. Here's my current software: Linux version 2.0.29 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.7.2.3) ii dhcpcd 0.70-2 a DHCP client ii netbase 3.03-1 Basic TCP/IP networking binaries ii netstd 3.02-1 Networking binaries and daemons for Linux and pretty much everything else is a mirror of the latest stuff on ftp.debian.org. When I try to start up dhcpcd, it dies, leaves an eth0 configured to IP address 0.0.0.0, and I get the following messages in /var/log/syslog: Jan 29 07:32:24 206-cdm-091 kernel: 7ARP: arp called for own IP address Jan 29 07:32:31 206-cdm-091 dhcpcd[716]: sendto (init): Operation not permitted Jan 29 07:33:16 206-cdm-091 kernel: 7ARP: arp called for own IP address Anyone have a clue?

Re: Colors and Packages overview

How can I get those colors back? Try alias ls=ls -color=auto in your .bashrc. You may also need to fiddle with /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm[-color] to get colors in an xterm. The color assignments are in XTerm-color, and I've never figured out how this file ever gets sourced. I always just rename XTerm to XTerm-nocolor, create a soft link from XTerm to XTerm-color, and change the #include line in XTerm-color to include XTerm-nocolor. Then, I think you have to invoke the xterm command with the +cm options. later, - rick -- Richard Kilgore | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Electrical Computer Engineering | http://lore.ece.utexas.edu/~rkilgore/ The University of Texas at Austin | (512) 471-8011 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Will the real vi please stand up?
On Apr 15, Robert D. Hilliard wrote It is generally agreed that any Unix user should be able to use vi, regardless of which editor he prefers to use regularly. Apparently vi doesn't exist in Debian - vim, nvi, and elvis (maybe others) all like to have a symlink named vi pointing to them. A year ago when I was running Slackware, I thought I learned enough about vi to use it, but not well. Then I found I was learning elvis, not vi. When I first installed Debian I tried using 'vi' (I don't remember which of the almost clones it really was) and found that some of the commands I was familiar with caused the famous unexpected results, so I gave up. Which of the vi semi-clones on Debian is most like the original vi and most likely to work on a broad range of unices? Bob That's a pretty difficult question, since I'm not sure there are many around who remember that much about what vi originally looked like. However, vim has an option for running in vi-compatible mode. Put the line set compatible in your ~/.vimrc file. You're giving up an awful lot by doing so, though. - rick -- Richard Kilgore | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Electrical Computer Engineering | http://lore.ece.utexas.edu/~rkilgore/ The University of Texas at Austin | (512) 471-8011
