I think the issue is not squid but firewall. Find on what port MSN
messenger is
communicating and let that port slip thr. firewall..

Tha'ts pretty darn slow and poor on imagination. Yesterday I was watching
StarTrek Voyager. When a computer is asked(i.e. by voice command) for it's
specification, it gives some 512 trillion calculation per nanosecond. Now
that
would be far faster than 1THz..
(OK unless it's quantum computer for which Hz won't matter any more. and KHz
quantum computer will beat today's GHz ones. And remember that will be analog
frequency..)

Hi listers,
I installed Caldera Linux(PCQ CD) in a friend's PC today.In
that I have a doubt.
In LILO we can set default booting OS by the command "lilo -D (dos or
Linux)" and then running "lilo -v".
How to do the same thing in GRUB?
man grub did not show up any such options.
Can listers point out what to do in GRUB?

I have 'default 1' and 'fallback 3' in my menu.lst file. Read the info

Hello Wise guys !
I need help regarding setting up a home network. Wish to do it to do
some network programming on *nix.
I have two computers, one of them is a pentium 150MHz system, and
another PIII 1GHz system. RH Linux 6.2 is already installed on the 1st
system.
What i wish to know is how to create a simple network with newer
machine as Linux Server and older pentium as a node ( with Harddisk )
I am a little tight on my budget, so what is the bare minimum hardware
that i must have and how to setup, i.e. cable connectivity type,
ethernet adapter, etc.
Thanks in advance. Web links would also be appreciated.

Well looks like even IIS is doing the redirect. The funny thing is it
redirects to a directory without a trailing slash causing another
redirect to another URL with a slash.

They are doing a 302 - Moved temporarily, not a 301 - moved permanently.
This is so because microsoft has multiple servers that they are probably
using for load sharing or something like that.

after this, you should pretend to be a browser, and do this:
telnet www.microsoft.com 80
GET http://CPMSFTWBW35/download/ HTTP/1.0
of course, you'll just go on and on.
One major bug here, is that they respond to a HTTP/1.0 request with a
HTTP/1.1 response. This is one of the methods used to detect whether a
server is IIS or not - assuming its server string has been changed.
Anyway, this is drifting way off topic

Not for the life of me ... that's about all I know and in no

but don't know, I gather that Oracle is sturdier stuff, not that

M$ is rather posessive about the MBR. Dual booting through
a muti-menu by modifying "boot.ini" may be worth considering
and in NT-type Wins (viz NT/ 2k/ XP) would not pose any pro-
blem with Win's requirements. For the method, you may like
to have a look at: http://geocities.com/usmbish/hdi.html.

Every PRIMARY partition has a boot record and space for data. An
EXTENDED partition has a boot record, but the data is kept in
the logicals under it. An IDE drive takes only ONE extended par-
tition, but unlimited logicals. Assume your extended partition
is hda4, the data would be written to hda5 (the default logical)
If you make hda6 to hdaN, the boot record would still be of hda4
Suppose you install QNX or freebsd on hda8, the boot record is
going to be written to the boot record of the extended, and not
of hda8 (since logicals under an extended do not have a boot re-
cord). As a consequence any pre-existing bootable record will
be overwritten.

Gosh Binand, how many ways are there to skin a cat ? I have been
using "tune2fs -L" all along for this ! Never even noticed this
e2label thing ! Its very much there in Slack as well. You learn
new things every day on lists ;-)

Modern telnets pass your TERM environment variable from the
local side to the remote one. There can be problems if remote
terminfo or termcap entry for your type is not compatible with
yours, and can usually be avoided by explicitly exporting:
$export TERM='vt100'

Hi,
I want to monitor some n/w traffic ( don't ask me why ;-), using
tcpdump. I am unable to throw my interface into promiscuous mode.
I googled a lot, some body told me to do a tcpdump -p ( opp. to what doc
says), but doesnot work.
I am on RH 7.1 (2.4.2-2), tcpdump is 3.4, libpcap is 0.4
Do I have to set some kernel option and rebuild kernel ?
Can anybody please help me with this ?
regards
srp
