A multithreaded program does have individual PIDs. They are simply child
processes off the parent. Just see what happens when you kill the parent. The
others will die.
If you look at the Star Office newsgroups there are (at least when 5.0 came out)
many people asking the same thing. Hope this helps.

Subject: [Q] DOSEMU question
Date: 16 Jan 99 19:24:13 GMT
I am trying to setup DOSEMU to run my Quicken for DOS 8.0 accounting
package, but have hit a snag with printer ports.
Quicken starts and presents its main menu, but that's about as far as it
goes. When I select the file to work with I get two alternating messages:
"Printer not found" and "Could not open QST file". On exiting DOSEMU, a
long series of "ERROR: write protected!" messages scrolls by before I see
the Linux command prompt.
I believe the problem is related to how my parallel ports are configured
in the dosemu.conf file, but cannot tell what is wrong. Can someone help
out with this, please? If there is a more appropriate forum for DOSEMU
questions, please let me know. Thanks,

Unless a user does something goofy. :)
Procmail rewrites and Lotus gateways have done really nasty things:
sendmail's loop detection is only for two things: direct loops (via MX
usually) and too many Recieved lines to detect indirect loops.
In this case, we're talking of a two-host bounce, so it would involve
the Recieved-line check
A common error that I've seen that Sendmail is incapable of finding
itself until it is too late:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] sets up a .forward to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
usera gets lots of mail. He exceeds his quota on hostb. So the mail
bounces. But his forward has changed the envelepe from to be
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. So the bounce goes to [EMAIL PROTECTED], since his
mail is being forwarded.
Of course, he's still over quota, so a bounce is sent to hosta.
Repeat until you exceed the message size limit.
Since each bounce gets a new header, the received lines don't grow
(though the depth of the MIME'ing does), and since it's not a direct
loop to itself, Sendmail will gladly repeat the cycle until the size
limit is reached.
Don't have quotas? Just set the forward to be an address where mail is
accepted for delivery before the rcpt's are validated. (Many
providers do this, since the MX machine may not have the actual
mailboxes, but just passes them on to other machines for delivery.)
It is tricky to get around sendmail's loop detection, but it is
certainly doable and users seem to figure it out accidentally all the
time. (And Lotus gateways are EXCELLENT for helping users find new and
interesting ways to break mail.)

Hmmm... OK.
However.... how are todays modern LAN's any better
than what they used to have back then..... i.e a
central computer somewhere with many user and
terminals hanging off it?
Were those terminals back then strictly "dumb" as
in no processor power in them at all??
Whereas todays networks use a server... but the
clients have processing power also??
Can someone explain this for me as I've never
quite understood all this.
It seems things have come full circle as far as
going back to "centralized" computing systems.

Somehow I'm lost on this description (I have seen Linux several times,
but have no idea how perms in a removable media can work).
Did I understand it correct: you chown/set-suid script.pl while it is
in your laptop, insert it in a server floppy, and run user-level perl

Subject: Samba Question
Date: Sat, 16 Jan 1999 15:59:10 -0500
I have Samba running on RH 5.2, and I have another PC with Windows 98. The
Linux box can use the printer on the Windows box, and I can use smbclient to
see the Windows box from Linux, no problem. But when I try to look at the
Linux box from Windows, all I see is a service called IPC$. This is not one
of the services listed in smb.conf, and it does not accept my password. I
am using the same user name for both the PC's. I also tried to activate the
[homes] feature so that I could look at my home directory from the Windows
PC, but that does not appear either. Finally, I made a service that shares
the root directory, has me as the only allowed user, set browsable to yes
and public to no, but I still cannot see this. I still see only the IPC$
service, which again is not defined in smb.conf. Can anyone tell me what is
going on here? What do I have to do to be able to share the Linux drive to
the Windows PC?
Thanks,
Hal Raymond

network administrators, system programmers and planners, integrators and IT
managers, and anyone involved in the implementation and administration of
Linux.
Space is limited to 15 attendees per workshop. Call: 1-831-662-9164 to

Yes, either use the suffix .html since .htm is just a M$ stupidity or

Well, the trouble with that is that almost as soon as IA-64 chips
become available, the 386 architecture will be percieved as
"obsolete".
If the architecture is controlled by patents and not licensed, the
result will be an Intel monopoly of the microprocessor market.
The only way for Intel's competitors to survive is if they all agree
on a next-generation architecture...
and Microsoft writes a future release of Windows for it instead of
IA-64. Which isn't likely. (Writing it for both isn't good enough,
since most of the binaries will be for the most popular system.)
Of course, in the very short term, building better IA-32 chips is
indeed the only useful thing to do.

Not to split hairs or anything but ...
Indeed, Bill Gates stole the idea from Steve Jobs. But, if memory serves me
correctly, Steve Jobs stole the idea from Xerox. You know, the guys that invented
the GUI, the mouse, ethernet, hypertext, etc. Too bad the Xerox management didn't
know what their researchers had created.

Thanks for the other pointers. I am trying to close all ports except ssh and
Apache; I figure if I really need it, I can proxy it through shh if I understand ssh

run it thorugh on port 22, and then present it on port 5801 at the remote machine.

Thanks for replying to my original post, Micheal. Could you please humor me
and tell me exactly what's going on when you use the above command? What's
the difference between LD_PRELOAD and LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or whatever it's
called)? And what will happen to other programs (both those currently
running, and those that I subsequently launch) if I use the above command,
especially if those apps use a different version of libc?
Regards...

Hi,
SunOS is BSD-Unix, while Solaris is SVR4-Unix.
