it worked, but I never found one real life bug
I was always under the impression that the SHELL envirinment variable
was supposed to point to the _current_ shell. In my setup at least,
it doesn't. It _always_ points to the login shell (I change to a
different shell but the variable remains the same). Bug, feature,
user error? Any
I was testing a program and to see how it handled an invalid group I did:
gr = getgrnam(bob);
Now obviously this failed. However the string from perror() states:
Could not find file or directory
Why is this? Seems like a counter intuitive error.
I think the error is not set by
Personally, I don't even know what AGP video is, so I am

Hello,
is there an easy (or canonical) way of (auto)detecting whether a disk is
partitioned, please?
What I have is a SCSI magneto-optical disk drive (230MB removable disks)
and a bunch of disks. With some of the disks, I need to mount /dev/sda1,
with others /dev/sda directly.

virtual screen set up, the only resolution mention in my file is 640x480.
The laptop pages don't help - frankly because it isn't an issue with laptops

xlock does this for me:

However, vim is not standard. I routinely work on HP-UX these days
and doubt that vim is installed there, for example.
It usually is not too hard to go to a debian site, download the original
source tarbal, and compile it for personal use. I just did that with
procmail on SGI.

Hi all,
I am receiving mail on a SGI system, that has no procmail, but the elm
filter program. I would like to use the same thing on debian, but I
cannot seem to find it. Is it anywhere available in slink?
Thanks,

Hi,
how do I open xterm with a program? Let's say I want an icon on my desktop
opening mc or mutt. What would the command be to have an xterm with one of
these programs open automatically with xterm?
xterm -e program
This, by the way, is in the man page of xterm. If you'd type `man
How can I mount devices (CDrom / HD) as a normal user.
For example :
$ mount /dev/hdb /mnt/hdb
mount: only root can mount /dev/hdb on /mnt/hdb
Normally the mount command checks if you really are root, and
disregards group membership. You can allow users to mount a certain
partition by
Hey guys,
Since I have upgraded to slink
I have noticed that when I unzip certain tars in /usr/local the binaries
seem to have trouble finding the required libs. For example, Wingz3 can't
find libXpm.so.4 although it is in /usr/X11R6/lib. Wingz3 worked with hamm.

Hi all,
I was pondering on the problem of splitting output over multiple
