Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi y'all.
Hope you can give me some guide-lines on the following:
I'm running RedHat 5.1 / Samba (I think most recent version) and I'm
using it as an authentication-server on a small network (home) with
Win95/98/NT-clients. The users get their desktops etc. from the
server.
I was soooo happy I got it running, being a newbie with Linux and all,
that I forgot to make a user equivalent to root. Root can't open a
telnet-session either. (Stupid, I know...)
The prob.: The Linux-box doesn't react to the keyboard anymore and
there are several errormessages on the screen (Waiting for 3c509 to
reject package / and some errors about my file-systems) Before this I
also received errormessages about my file-systems at boot-time
(WARNING: Mounting unchecked file-systems), so I checked these
file-systems.
Positive!, Linux / Samba are still running OK, I can still login to
the "domain", I can still connect / read / write to the shares.
I wanna upgrade to RH 5.2, whilst correcting this problem.
A back-up to tape is not an option, because I didn't get my tape-drive
to work yet, and I can not login as root anymore.
Q1: Is there a possibility to do a remote shutdown, so that I can
reboot and hope for the best?
Q2: What is the best / most reliable way to do an upgrade from
RH5.1 >> RH5.2?
Thanks in advance!

Subject: RedHat 5.1 and Debian 2.0 sharing /usr ?
Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1999 23:13:38 GMT
Hi, I have a limited space on my hard disk, and I'd like to run both Debian
and RedHat (for different reasons, but, well.. let's not start a
"which-is-the-best-distribution" thread)... I've used both dists and they are
different in many ways, and in particular the /etc files. But, I'm thinking
of having the same /usr for both distributions, and leaving /
(/etc,/bin,/sbin) distribution-specific.
So I'll partition my disk as follows:
(We start at /dev/hda5, assuming that /dev/hda1 or 2 is an Extended partition
that contains /dev/hda5,6,7...)
/dev/hda5 20 MB / from Debian 2.0
/dev/hda6 20 MB / from RedHat 5.1
/dev/hda7 20 MB /home common
/dev/hda8 40 MB swap common
/dev/hda9 300 MB /usr common
So, basically, here are the questions:
1) Have some of you done (or tried) this before ? 2) Will it work ? 3) What
/usr should I use, the one from Debian 2.0 or the one from RedHat 5.1 ?
Thanks.

No. DGL is a proprietary SGI interface. SGI may still support it, but

the URL below).

I'm not sure if this is a GLX failure, a DGL failure, or just a

problem with X.
Anyway, if you want the scoop on GLX, and just 3D/X in general, I'd
suggest taking a peek at the following URL:

This is comical. I don't use Linux and never have. However, I do support
systems operating in both AIX and Windows. Windows is far from a perfect
platform, however, bear in mind the following:
1. Windows is arguably a 'USER' platform -- even if you believe it is a
cheap rip off of MAC. Why is the MAC so loved -- assume that users know
nothing of computers -- everyone starts there. In Windows, stupid things
like dancing paperclips make the computer seem a little more friendly --
nothing more. When dealing with luddites this can be everything.
2. Never underestimate the importance of CONTENT. The fat, even unstable
windows environment provides a rich and relatively straightforward
development environment for intermediate programmers. The fact is that
operating systems thrive on content -- AKA third party, industry specific
software. A content specialist with very little programming experience can
build a Windows based, GUI application with internet support etc. etc.
If lowest-common-denominator is the only means to make an OS friendly and
accessible to END-users and CONTENT developers, lowest-common-denominator
means market superiority. Provide a stable, light and fast OS that meets
the needs of these two groups and Microsoft will be doomed.
In the meantime pull your head out of your code occasionally and look
around. Most users don't want to have to learn how to use a computer --
they want to do their work or play their games. Whether or not Microsoft
meets the challenge they recognize it.

Well, about 1/2 the browsers out there are netscape, which
doesn't support activex. On the other hand, about 1/2
are internet explorer, and people like to claim it doesn't really
support java. If that were true, they'd be equally useful. But of

Subject: DNS in Redhat 5.2
Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1999 15:37:47 +0000
Hi,
I'm currently running RedHat 5.2 and Win95. I used to have a debian
distribution, but because of conflicts between my sound card and network
card, I changed to RedHat. However, now I've got it installed, it seems
to be running very slowly when acessing the network, and occasionally I
get messages saying the DNS lookup failed on sites which I know
definitely exist.
I've a Pentium 133 with 48Mb Ram, and a 3Com 3C509B network card. I
haven't managed to set up the domain suffix search order (any help would
be appreciated) but I don't think that can account for these problems.
The thing is, when I use Win95, is is very significantly faster, which
is completely the opposite situation from when I was running Debian. Can
anyone suggest anything I might be doing wrong and any remedies?
Thanks,
Matt

I see. Not "guaranteed to be unique", but "almost certain to be unique".
That's easy. Just grab as many bits as you need out of /dev/random.
Try this:
#!/bin/sh
DIGITS=256
until [ `expr "$RANDOMSTRING" : ".*"` -ge $DIGITS ]
do
RANDOMSTRING=`head -c 1000 /dev/random | tr -dc '[:alnum:]' | head -c $DIGITS`
done
echo "$RANDOMSTRING"
Note: /dev/random may run out of entropy and stop on machines with little
keyboard or mouse activity. /dev/urandom won't, but may generate low
quality numbers.

I don't know for sure, but try doing a 'make distclean' which will make it
