take it out of .bashrc and put it into /etc/profile That will fix it.
You may also want to put it into /etc/csh.login for those who use csh as
their default shell. . .

but you can make a cygwin cross compiler which is hosted on linux and
produces windows binaries. this is how octave binaries get made since
cygwin is, for whatever reason, an order of magnitude slower on
windows nt than in linux. the octave build takes a couple of hours on
a ppro-200 in linux so the time savings is significant.

go to http://www.cygnus.com/ and follow the cygwin links. cygwin is a
port of gcc and egcs and a whole slew of tools to win32.

This is a problem in ver 4.05. Easiest fix is to get the rpms for ver
4.08 from RedHat updates.

Subject: Obscure bug (?) in Linux telnet
Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1999 08:45:22 GMT
Try the following command on your Linux system:
telnet 0 13
Assuming you have the daytime service active in /etc/inetd.conf, this will
show you the current date/time (interspersed with telnet's banners).
Now, try:
telnet 0 13 < /dev/null
Does it still work?
It used to (on early versions of Red Hat), but they seem to have
broken it somewhere along the way. I'm curious to know in which
versions/distributions it works and in which ones it doesn't - and to know
people's opinions on the eternal question: Bug or Feautre?

The free version I have, excellent otherwise, does not have that

I will purchase the Word Perfect full version instantly if it does.
(same goes for Applix and Star Office but these packages seem far from

It's a little murkier than that. Although UNIX is a registered
trademark of The Open Group, SCO actually owns the System V kernel
source code. This is all because Novell bought all of UNIX from AT&T,
realized it didn't understand UNIX, and sold it off. When Novell sold
it, SCO got rights to the code and the trademarks were turned over to
The Open Group.

You've come across one of the interesting "conventions" of the 'Net.
Most people (well, that I know anyway) take UNIX (all caps) to mean
"registered trademark of The Open Group," while Unix (lowercase) means
"UNIX and all its workalikes." To be perfectly clear, lots of people
also use *nix or Un*x to mean the latter.
And, while it's true all the companies you mentioned have paid the The
Open Group so they can say they're "UNIX", Digital UNIX, IBM AIX, and I
believe HP-UX are not based on the AT&T UNIX kernel. And SunOS (or as
Sun likes to call it now, "Solaris") was originally NOT AT&T-based, but
Sun switched.
A lot can happen in 25-or-so years. ;-)

Subject: make zImage => goes wrong , make dep clean => goes alright
Date: Mon, 11 Jan 1999 21:31:58 +0000
Hi,
First I had installed kernel 2.0.34 then I downloaded the (full) 2.0.36
kernel, I installed this one and it works alright.
Now I downloaded an unstable kernel, version 2.2.0-pre6 (the newest if
I'm right). I don't think this error has anything to do with the kernel
being unstable. When I do "make dep clean" , It goes alright. But when I
do "make zImage" , after about 15 minutes it gives errors about
"checksum.o" , it says: "already configured" and then it stops and there
is no zImage file.
Does anyone know how I can resolve this problem or have any idee's? If
so, please let me know by newsgroup

man gethostid
GETHOSTID(2) Linux Programmer's Manual GETHOSTID(2)
NAME
gethostid, sethostid - get or set the unique identifier of
the current host
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
long int gethostid(void);
int sethostid(long int hostid);
DESCRIPTION
Get or set a unique 32-bit identifier for the current
machine. The 32-bit identifier is intended to be unique
among all UNIX systems in existence. This normally resem-
bles the Internet address for the local machine, as
returned by gethostbyname(3), and thus usually never needs
to be set.

Subject: Linux PPP Help For Newbie -- Netcom
Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1999 14:57:22 -0500
I just installed Red Hat 5.0 on my machine. I have followed the man
pages for pppd and actually found a help file at the netcom site for
linux setup, but have not been able to get it to work. Sometime ago I
ran Slackware and had no problem getting hooked up to my local ISP, but
they were much more linux friendly.
I am running a generic 56k modem (not a winblowsmodem, or other software
dependent piece o crap), and have had no problem initializing it under
RH -- I have no problems using dial-up under NT, '95, or BeOS and I have
been able to use the modem under Solaris even, so it is not the modem.
Can somebody send me working ppp-on, ppp-off, chat, options, resolv.conf
files for netcom??? Even if you have a script that works for another
ISP, I would be interested in seeing it (minus the user info of course)
because I am really stuck and I want to use Linux as my primary OS but
without internet access I have to boot up microsux all the time. BeOS
is fine, but no Netscape port yet and few apps.
Here is the link to the Linux How To for Netcom....

Hey there
This cant be done on Xterm ( I pretty sure anyway ), What you want is either
rxvt, aterm or Eterm...
I would recommend aterm or Eterm because you can aslo have transparent or
transparent tinted windows too...
In fact I would recommend aterm because unlike Eterm it is not tied to any
libraries and thus will install easily
in Eterm type: Eterm -P "imagename" -- many image formats, png, xpm, jpg,
gif(?), etc
in aterm type: aterm -pixmap "imagename.xpm" --aterm must be xpm format
though

umm... just HOW unique are you looking for? are you wanting UID's that are
unique within the context of one system? unique within the context of a
group of systems? or unique within the context of all UIDs on any computer
anywhere in the world (this last one will be damn near impossible without
people participating some sort of database of registered UIDs).

For a guy with a lot to say on the subject, you apparently can't read.
I never made that assertion you are claiming, nor did I even remotely imply

There is no root disk for Suse. Just boot and rescue.

doing an "Installation via FTP", I think you have to
have an exact mirror of the suse directory on your hard
drive. Just having the files you want to install is not
enough.
