Is there a red hat/intel rpm for a perl 5.005_??
http://www.redhat.com/support/linux-info/pkglist/PByName.html
lists only perl-5.004-6.

Yes Noel, you can enter an extra or new MX record in your zone file. Don't
forget to run ndc reload (bind (4)) I don't know if that still goes for bind 8
but you can always use nslookup to check if your MX record is active.
To clarify your ISP problem,: you don not have the rights nor the posibility to
change DNS settings (except after some serious and illegal hacking). Just call
them are email them with a request to enter a new MX record for your domain
this will be done within 3 minutes.

For whatever reason, sendmail takes about 4 minutes to load during
boot and the smb daemon takes a good 10-15 minutes...it's crazy.
Any help on these issues would be great.

You might try the later versions of Lynx. They can handle cookies, and
also have options for dumping a web site to disk.

So.... what's the problem? Twenty minutes sounds great to me! Once you get
your display setup, you can forget about it.
I do think that a quickstart card or mini instruction booklet could jumpstart
things though... Hello, RedHat?

Mmmm, at the risk of being pedantic, that's not quite right. Memory
for the string "blah" is allocated separately, and testvar is simply made to
point to it. Perfectly kosher. You're right in more general cases, though.

Urk! Not sure what you mean by "converting"... Anything but a
recompile would be a *huge* waste of effort, methinks. Write the code under
Linux, avoid using anything fancy like curses or a GUI or whatever (makes
things complicated but not impossible), compile and test with gcc, then
bring the source to school and *recompile* and retest on the school's Borland
setup (which I am assuming is available to you). Hand in that last version.
It would be very difficult to get away with avoiding a DOS/Windows compile
altogether...

Well, there's DOSEmu, but it's not perfect. Many programs won't
work; don't know about Borland compilers. Check www.dosemu.org for results
on specific applications.
Ciao... . SNF .
p.s. It's nice to avoid gratuitous crossposting. The .x and .setup

|| IINM, zombie processes will eventually be killed off by the kernel by

|| parents yourself. To find their parenst, do a 'ps fax' and track down
|| where this zombie X is. Starting X (say, through 'startx') usually
|| launches a bunch of different scripts and stuff to load X, so the actual X
|| server will probably be nested pretty deeply. Anyway you may see something
|| like this:
To kill this misconception before it starts: zombies aren't killed by
the kernel.
In fact, zombies can't be killed at all, with whatever signal; they're
already dead. They don't hold any resources except a slot in the process
table. There's no reason to want them out of the process table except
to free the slot.
A zombie is a dead process, the parent of which hasn't asked for its
exit status yet. It is up to the parent to ask for the exit status of
a process by doing a wait()-like system call.
When a process exits, the kernel sends a SIGCHLD to its parent to
signal that a child has exited. Sometimes, the parent process misses
this signal. You can try to send this signal manually, and hope that
the parent obediently does a wait(), thus removing the zombied child.
Try "kill -CHLD <parent-pid>".
When a parent exits without wait()ing for a child process, the child
process gets a new parent process. The new parent process is always
process 1, the mother of all process: init.
Init wait()s for its children. If you kill the parent of a zombie,
the zombie moves to init. Init then wait()s for it, and the zombie
disappears from the process table. This is why is seems as if killing
the parent actually kills the zombie, but it's appearances only.

If you ever see this situation (however improbable), try:
kill -CHLD 1803
and see if xinit cleans up the situation. It logs you out since the X
server has gone away.
Actually, the X server is gone already, so wmaker will be exiting shortly
because it lost its connection to the X server. If xinit didn't notice
the X server dying, it will surely notice wmaker dying.
Bah. I bit again. This must be in innumerable unix text books. :-)

I have a question on this. I've got Samba (smb.conf) set up to share everything
I want to share with the Win95 box attached via ethernet to my Linux box. On
the Win95 side, what do I do to get to it? Do I go to a DOS prompt and type
"net use \\192.168.xxx.xxx\c k:" or something like that?

Hy Dustin,
First look at the /etc/ppp/options. Is there an entry like �LOCK�?
Remove it!
Then look at the pppd. Mostly in /usr/sbin.
It should have the owner �root� and i.e. a different group like �dialout� (on my
system).
Now you should set also a user group dialout for yourself (as user). Of course,
don�t forget to set the permission for pppd to suid 754 or something.
Hopefully it may help...

I have done this and it works. The problems occur the other way
around. I was a TA for C and a lot of students would submit sompething
that *worked* on their win95 and didn't work on NT. Problem was, 95
didn't have true memory protection and allowed something like
char *testvar;
testvar = "blah"; /* memory not allocated */
printf ("%s\n", testvar);
On NT it would appropriately crash. On Linux/Solaris it would crash.
So, you can use Linux so long as you don't need to write GUI code.
ANSI C will be fully portable to the same machine architecture (Intel, I
presume). By the way, make sure that Borland C is in ANSI mode when

Subject: Yet another Netscape 4.5 problem
Date: Mon, 11 Jan 1999 23:02:06 +0000
Perhaps someone can help me out here. I'm a relative newbie with Linux- we just
recently purchased a RedHat 5.2 system for our department here. I've set up
Netscape 4.5 and it has one odd problem- the "backspace" key only functions as a
"delete", so I have two ways to delete characters to the right of the cursor, and no
way to delete a character on the left of the cursor. Very annoying, and Netscape
seems to be the only program that has this problem.
Anyone have any ideas? Is this a problem with the Netscape for Linux, or is it set
up wrong somehow?

It looks nice. I've got RH 5.1, with various parts upgraded (2.0.36 kernel
etc.). I downloaded the various RPMs required to add KDE to my setup but
they refuse to apply under RH 5.1 for some reason.
Mind you, I think I read somewhere that the support isn't all that good (I
may be mistaken though).
