Dustin,
AFAIK, 'cat somefile > /dev/lp1' won't work unless you are
root...because only root has write access to any file (or device). Users
must use lpr to print to a printer.
Post the relevant sections of /etc/printcap and see if anyone can
troubleshoot it for you.
Beyond that, I can't help. I tried for weeks to get printing going under
Slackware, but I never could figure out all the printcap/APS or
magicfilter/ghostscript/etc crap. I eventually said FU to Slackware and
got SuSE and used yast to setup my printer. Took 60 seconds.

Please don't put your foot in your mouth. The USA has done many things
that were not very ....... too. Being racist towards Germans won't help any
countries p.r. one bit either.
Forget that, it's MS that is being talked about.
That the majority of the public thinks one way doesn't make it *right*.
MS spends a vast amount of money on marketing - don't forget that. They
are really buying support. Remember that false grass-roots complain they
were planning?
Much of what people complain about in MS's marketing strategies can only
be understood by technical people (imo). Now, according to this poll, more
people support MS than own a computer (in the USA). - So do these people
who don't own a computer understand API's, OS's, OEM lisenceing,
Integration & the other issues - I think maybe not.
thanks,
bye.

Thinkgs can be even simplier. Your solution requires two files,
but one is enough. There is no difference betwen hexdump format and,
say, awk script, so nothing prevents you from making hexdump format
executable:
$ ls -l /usr/bin/hd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 vitus bin 141 Jul 12 1998 /usr/bin/hd
$ cat /usr/bin/hd
#!/usr/bin/hexdump -f
# @(#) prints hex dump of arguments much like NU or Volkov
"%6.6_ax " 8/1 "%02x " " " 8/1 "%02x " "\t"
16/1 "%_p" "\n"
Results are essentially the same, but much simplier to move it around
form one linux machine to other and saves one block and one inode on
disk

: Linux very rarely needs to be rebooted for these things - almost all
: changes except installing a new kernel or new hardware can be done
: without rebooting.
And even new hardware can be added without reboot, in case that it can
be installed when system is
powered on. For example, you can attach new device to external SCSI
chain and then do
echo scsi-add-single-device 0 0 6 0 >/proc/scsi/scsi
(supposing that its first bus of first controller and device has ID 6)
So, rebooting when adding new hardware (if driver is already in kernel
or can be loaded as module) is only nesseccary becouse you have to power
system down to avoid electric shock or damage of hardware.

Date: 4 Jan 1999 14:25:28 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm trying to set up dial in service, and I know that uugetty is
properly run from inittab. But, I want to test it out from the command
line, and I also want to set up one-time-only dial in service. The
idea is that I'm setting up a linux box for my parents, and when
needed I'd like to have them run uugetty so that I can dial in to do
maintenance. To avoid their having to sign in as root, I've written a C
wrapper that is suid root to run uugetty after first verifying that
there is not already a uugetty process up and running. The wrapper
forks uugetty, writes the process number into /etc/run/dialin.pid and
exits. What happens when I run uugetty directly from the command line
or if I run it using the wrapper (which works perfectly when I have it
fork sleep rather than uugetty), uugetty (or something) kills the
wrapper and the shell from which either uugetty or the wrapper were
run.
Why does this happen? How can I avoid it?
Thanks,
Dick

I guess you are using Redhat. usernetctl can do this. In the control
panel, set the option to allow users to activate/deactivate interfaces.
After you set this option, I would suggest making usernetctl only
executable by members of a particular group. For example, after you have
run netcfg as root and set the user option,
chown root.trustedgroup /usr/sbin/usernetctl
chmod 4750 /usr/sbin/usernetctl
Of course you will have to create trustedgroup (perhaps ppp) and then add
certain users to it.

For the console, put something like 'setterm -blank 0' in your shell
startup scripts. For X, run X with the '-s 0' option.
