Quoting "Kenneth E. Lussier" [EMAIL PROTECTED]: That's a really good question (and I wish I had an answer). I'm guessing that `netstat` can somehow tell you what's listening on what ports. A port-scanner will do the trick, too. But what did you mean when you said " I lost tcpd/pop3d"? What is

Here is a quick, non optomized perl script: while () { next unless (/^HCA/); print $_; while () { last unless (/^I[XY]\d\d\d\d\d/); print $_; } } There are more efficient ways to do this then the above perl, but that is sufficient... - Marc On Wed, 9 Feb 2000, Matt Tilley

If you are installing the system using dynamic IP addresses (DHCP or BOOTP), then yes, pump would be running. Pump took the place of dhcpc as of RH 6.1 I believe. And, yes, there are problems with pump. Not just in RH6.1, but in 6.0 as well. In a few docs that I have read, it is highly

I have personally found that using mmap is less intense on the overall system performance then the open/fopen alternatives. This is particularly true if you are doing random I/O (seeking back and forth). Sadly, OS portability is a bit of an issue, which may impact your development plans. - Marc
