"find" is a handy utility that comes with all breeds of UNIX - in general,
using this command is almost as reliable as "mkdir" <ehem.> Linux, however,
has distributed a utility called "locate" for some time now that not only
invokes a "find" but sorts the entries - etc. Useful if you have NFS
mounted drives or weird directory structures.
If you type "locate xyz" (which, in effect, returns any file containing xyz
in the name) and it says "Unable to find database" (or some error like
that - simply type "updatedb &" at the prompt and it will refresh your file
system database file. Better yet - set it to run as a cron job, niced,
every 12 hours or 24 hours.
Locate is real fast for making multiple queries because it does not actually
read the hard disk each time - just the binary database file it creates.

Subject: shutting down screenless server - when done??
Hi there!
I have a server sitting around, but don't want to let it run all the
time (when nobody needs it). I don't have any monitor connected to it.
So when I shut it down (Ctrl-Alt-Del), I don't exactly know when it is
safe to turn off the power (I know it by now, but other people
don't...).
Now I'm looking for a solution in which the kernel (or somewhat) tells
me e.g. by (de)activating a LED that it has shut down (like the
appearing 'Shut down' message). Does anybody have something similar
running or has an idea how to do it?
(best would be a red led when running and a green one when shut down :)
thanx in advance...

Thanks for the suggestion Gary, but I guess I should have specified that I am
the person who owns/operates the MicroEMACS web site you specified in the URL
you gave. The reason I am looking for the Linux/Alpha binary is so I can make
it available on the MicroEMACS web site.

Is slrnpull also available for MS-Windows? I know that slrn itself is
available for Win32, i.e. 95/98/NT, but what about slrnpull?

Samba is quite simple to setup. I have used
http://www.gorski.net/Samba quite religiously. Most of your changes
to get your system how you want it shared is going to be done in
smb.conf in your /etc/ directory. The web page that I previously
mentioned has a detailed listing of options that will help you out.
Some of the main points you are going to want to look at are:
1. security: share or user
2. encryption: If you are using NT, you ware going to want to
make sure you have password encryption enabled in your smb.conf file,
otherwise you are never going to be able to login to your linux box to
get access to directories.
3. directories: You can setup user directories, public
directories, etc etc. with such options has "public" "browsable"
"updateable" yada yada yada. All that is covered on the web page.
4. printers: You will have to make sure you have your lp
daemon started and configured on linux, then you can implement that in
your smb.conf file, and share a printer to all other nodes on the
network. Again this is covered in depth on the web page.
There are MANY other options to include, and the default smb.conf file
comes with most implemented, or at least there and commented out.
Just follow the web page and you should be able to figure it out.

-->Eg.
-->1. configure network card (check these docs - .... )
At the initial setup of RH5.2 you should have already set that
up...but seeing as you have a custom compiled kernel your other
settings may or may not be working. Does your network get recognized
at boot-up. If so, then the physical card is setup....what you will
have to do is make sure IP, DNS, GATEWAY, ROUTING, and all that fun
stuff is setup correctly. I believe in /usr/doc/HOWTO/ there is a
networking HOWTO which should cover the above.
-->2. ping from server to client, then client to server (check these docs - ... )
If your card is recognized at boot-up and you have assigned IPs to all
the machines already, you should be able ping right off the bat.
-->3. configure samba
See the above comments.

Quite easy to do with Samba...the web page covers this...and the

it is seeing your card. If not....you can specify at the LILO prompt

At this point the ISP server sends the garbage which I have read is the PPP

Actually, one of the more interesting, less biased sources of technology

Astounding. These people review products on how useful they are, rather
than technical merits (I can find out those myself, elsewhere). After all,
technical merits have meant almost nothing in the computer field for years.

Everything I've seen says P2 does considerably faster floating point
than K6-2 (at least without using K6-2's unique graphics ops) at
the same clock speed, but I'd guess they do about the same FP ops
per dollar.

please keep the attributions straight. my point of view is that if
microsoft wins vs the DOJ, it may hamper the commercial success of linux,
but that the biggest damage it will do the core linux (and various other
free software packages) is force everyone to deal with all of the flamewars
and threads about how linux/gnu/*BSD is going to die now that microsoft
won...

Due to my school's policy regarding "other" OS's, I'm fighting to have Linux
installed on three lab computers coexisting with NT. They are concerned
about possible support issues which may mess up the NT side of things, and
don't want a dual boot situation where "regular" students inadvertantly get
into the wrong system.
My question is ... can I use loadlin or something else to boot Linux out of
a command line prompt in WinNT?
Or does someone know of a good setup for a dual boot which might make Linux
available at the press of a button somewhere in the process??? (I know
nothing about what NT has in the way of boot managers.)

"Worker autonomy" and "social equality" are political goals, and their
connection with socialism is questionable. Fundamentally, socialism is
an *economic* system with different production model from capitalism --
a model under which means of production cannot be privately owned, are
not commodities but rather public property, like air or highways. This
system of course is envisioned as one that would maximize the overall
utility for workers -- as opposed to capitalism, which has no such
"vision" at all (under capitalism, it is the individual's utility that
matters, rather than overall society's utility).
Trouble is, maximization of individual utility can very easily lead to
very suboptimal overall utility values. If you recall my [borrowed from
Dawkins] example (news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) about doves and
hawks, the result of each individual maximizing their individual utility
may end up hurting the society in general and each individual in
particular.
In short, there seems to be quite a confuision between utility,
economics, and politics. You must keep in mind which systems are
economic and which are political -- the latter usually depends on the
former, and utility is a philosophical and an economic idea that is not
restricted to liberal environments.
Damn, this is getting tangled...

Worse than that, the formatting ioctl is root-only, isn't it?

They seem to be hinting at a Q2 release, probably a 4.0.1. Don't know
if it'll be open source, but the smart money says no way.

They resisted the momentum for a long time, and got pretty testy about
it at one point.

It's not that, although they used it as an argument early on. They
just didn't want to spend the resources writing a native *NIX version,
period. Apparently the Solaris port was done using a library emulator
that does not exist for Linux (CF was originally developed using MFC
libraries). The 3.x Solaris ports were reputedly slow and buggy.
