Re: [SLUG] save to disk
Gregg Jorgen Suaning wrote: Anyone know how the 'save to disk' function works on a laptop? This is the facility where the data in memory is saved to disk and the computer shuts off - when the computer is restarted, you pick up where you left off. i've had it on a compaq before. check the compaq web site for the file name that kicks off the save to disk function. basically it makes one big file that it writes the memory to when the computer powers down. this file size can change depending on the memory on your computer. i've only seen it running on windows on a compaq before. i've never had experiance with linux on a laptop. i don't know how it worked on linux! i remember years ago another similar way of doing this. it used to map out part of the hard disk and, to disk utilities like format, it would look like bad areas mapped out unusable on the disk. in fact it was the swap to disk area. anyway check the compaq web site and it will give you the file name and possibly let you download it. again however, i've only seen it as a windows executable. unless compaq and/or phoenix have another way of doing it. in which case look in the bios setup when the computer boots up. on a compaq it's usually press F10 when the little white square starts flashing in the top right corner of the screen sometime after power on. hope this helps Ben -- SLUG - Sydney Linux Users Group Mailing List - http://www.slug.org.au To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the text

[SLUG] ipchains stuff
hi slugs, as i've spent days mucking around with ipchains and still seem to muck things up. i thought i'd ask a few questions to clarify my ideas on ipchains and how it should best be set up in a particular situation. is the following a good way to think about the ipchains rules? define a new chain name. ipchains -N dmz-bad define the new chain route/direction of packets. ie. if going from ip - from interface - to ip - jumpto dmz-bad. ipchains -A input -s 1.2.3.4 -i eth0 -d 5.6.7.8 -j dmz-bad define the rules for the ports in dmz-bad ipchains -A dmz-bad -p tcp --sport 80 --dport 80 -j ACCEPT does this make sense or is there a hole somewhere? disregarding the default rules of course. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux Users Group Mailing List - http://www.slug.org.au To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the text

[SLUG] lost link between /boot and /
hi slugs, i'm mucking around with converting from NT to linux desktop. i've been mucking around with partitions. i don't know the technical terms for the following but here goes... i've got two partitions for linux. a /boot and another partition called / for everything else. there are a few other partitions *between* these partitions on the hard disk. it's a 20Gb hard disk and that's why /boot is down near the start of the disk for 1024 cyl limitation and / is at the end of the disk. anyway deleting a partition between /boot and / has caused linux to have a kernal panic and error saying it can't find a console. try passing init= to the kernel. how do i re-link the /boot partition to the / partition? or how do you get the /boot partition to find the / partition? i've edited the lilo.conf but no go as lilo.conf is in the / partition which *i guess* can't be found by the kernel from /boot. i hope this makes sense! -- SLUG - Sydney Linux Users Group Mailing List - http://www.slug.org.au To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the text

Re: [SLUG] Imaging Software
there are two dos imaging software packages that i know of that will image linux. one, ghost two, partition magic or the imaging bit of it. partition magic seems more reliable with linux than the current version of ghost. there is a gnu/linux version of imaging software, can't think of the name at the moment. search freshmeat.

Re: [SLUG] Unix/Samba Printing
yes i would also like a similar solution to this problem... an email gets sent to a destination but also comes out on the network printer. must be easy enough i suppose, only i've never done it before. anyone point me in the right direction? Jeff Waugh wrote: All this talk of Unix and Samba printing is giving me ideas... Say I wanted to host a Samba printer queue on a Linux box for a bunch of Win9x and DOS clients, but wanted to send the jobs off to be printed on a 9x machine (which isn't guaranteed to be on the network or switched on, thus the queue on the Linux box)... Does anyone recommend some good places to rummage around in for good info regarding this? I know next to nothing about Unix printing (I have printed at Uni, which is about it!), and I've been using workgroup printing on Win9x networks long enough to know not to trust them...

Re: [SLUG] 486 sans dial-up? No Slashdot for you... Come back, one year!
hi, i had the same trouble once. turned out to be a 25-9 connecter which didnt have all the pins. some old ones were missing some pins. swapped it with a new fully pinned one and away she went. so check your cabling, use connectors that have all the pins in place. even check the pinouts with a meter etc. Jeff Waugh wrote: Hi all, In the middle of a procrastination-induced bedroom rearrangement, I decided to try getting my reliable old 486 to dial up properly. Sadly, it's a very confused little creature. It's running RedHat 6.0, and kernel 2.2.14 When issuing "ifup ppp0", the modem lights flash and finally rest with the three usual lights on (HS, MR and PW), plus the DTR light. It stays like this for a while, until the connection attempt times out. It doesn't even get to the dialtone. The same modem works fine on my chunky machine, so I thought duplicating the setup might work. I copied (and set correct permissions on) /etc/ppp/* and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/*ppp* but still to no avail. Same results - the DTR light goes on and times out. I forgot to grab a tail of the log file before I swapped the modem back to this machine, but it really didn't say too much beyond "Well, that mustn't have worked". There's essentially no difference between the setups (serial ports, etc). The kernel config is based on the same file, too. I'm using a simple ATZ for the init string. Any ideas?

Re: [SLUG] PPP0 Autodial
here's another way..., there's always another way. run a cron job to do the following every five minutes or so. on a redhat box... #!/bin/bash cd /etc/ppp ps ax|fgrep pppd|fgrep -v fgrep/dev/null||/etc/ppp/ppp-on exit 0 what this does is check if the process pppd is running. if it is then it does nothing. if it is not then it runs your ppp-on script. this is useful for the pppd coming back up when you are not there, or the machine reboots for some reason, the machine is up but the line drops out, etc. just make damn sure your scripts are correct. if not you may get a phone bill that's rung the number every five minutes, had an error in the script and hung up, redialed, hung up, redialed... still when it's working, it works a treat! sorry, havent played with dial on demand. Ryan McBride wrote: Hi, could anyone recomend a script for making PPP0 autodial/connect on boot. I have tried changing /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 and changing the onboot option to yes but for some reason it doesnt work. It dials and connects but you cant access the internet unless u dial with KPPP through xwindoz. What about dial on demand??
