Thanks... I am happy camper now... here is what i did... i created
/etc/ppp/ip-up.local; chmod +x it and added
#!/bin/bash
export PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin
su -c 'fetchmail --daemon 300 --syslog;' inode
also created /etc/ppp/ip-down.local; chmod +x it and added
#!/bin/bash
export PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin
su -c "fetchmail --quit" inode
my .fetchmailrc was;
defaults fetchall
mda "/usr/sbin/sendmail -oep -bm inode"
poll my_domain.com
protocol pop3
user inode
password my_passwd
smtphost 127.0.0.1
THis works beautifully for me... connect to net... and fetchmail gets my
mail every 5 mins... read it w/elm, pine, mutt, postilion, etc...
disconnect and the daemon is terminated as well....

Subject: fax permission problems
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 22:28:19 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am trying to set up a "fax printer" under RH5.1 with the efax/faxlpr
package, according to the "Linux simple fax printer server mini-HOWTO".
In principle everything works as it should if I run the command
cat file | lpr -Pfax -Jnumber
as root, but when I run as normal user, there is a permission problem.
lpr creates 2 files in the /var/spool/fax, one is the "cfxxxx" file
which contains the telephone number and some more info. The faxlpr
script needs to read that file in order to get the phone number, but
this "cfxxx" file has permissions:
-rw-rw---- 1 bin lp 107 Dec 30 22:45 cfA031Aa02984
faxlpr does not have the appropriate permission, fails to open the file,
hence the fax submission fails.
I have tried several combinations (e.g. to set the sticky bit of faxlpr,
to make lpd member of the bin group, etc), but everything fails.
Any help?

No. NT is not portable. It has to be reinstalled each time even with

A good start is to set the root profiles back to the defaults.
Unfortunately, even setting "set -o noclobber" in the root
profiles can stop X starting.

You overclocked your PCI bus by 15% also. DMA was turned off due to retry

The problem is with the 32 bit processors....
Linux requires the kernel to be able to map the entire physical memory. The
default is for all phyical memory to be mapped starting at 0xc0000000 and
for the user virtual memory to be mapped starting at 0. This allows up to
3 Gig of virtual memory for a user process and 1 Gig of physical memory in
the machine. There is a simple patch that allows 2 Gigs of physical memory,
but this then limits the maximum virtual memory for a user process to 2 Gig
as well. For processors with a larger address space, the limits are raised.
Hope this helps,

I am trying to bring Linux into our environment at work along side some
Sun Ultra's and Enterprise systems but I became disappointed to hear
that Linux only supports up to 1GB of RAM? That is unfortunate when
Linux is trying to penetrate the enterprise server market and can't keep
up with the big guys? I am not putting Linux down as I am a very big
Linux advocate but if I am to compare linux head-to-head with other UNIX
servers then what am I supposed to say? Even the Sun Ultra-2's support
up to 2GB RAM and that is limited by hardware in the small footprint
case. We have Enterprise 4000 systems that have 8GB of RAM. And I know
that isn't the limit in Solaris. The systems we are ordering are dual
Xeon 450's in an Intel MS440GX motherboard. I know the board can handle
2GB too. Is there a reason why it can't > 1GB and does anyone know of
future support?

Yes. My apologies for not being clearer. I was reading this message in a
Linux newsgroup, and didn't notice it was being cross-posted to a Sun

First, this is a subjective statement. What's "unacceptably slow" to one
person may be a barely-noticeable slowdown to another. That said, on my
system, WP and Netscape seem to perform at similar speeds under Linux and
Windows, with the exception that WP slows down a lot more quickly when
adding text boxes to a document under Linux than under Windows.
Possibilities for why you're seeing problems include:
- Bad or poorly-configured drivers for your video card.
- Running in higher resolution or, especially, bit depth in Linux vs.
Windows.
- Font differences or font problems. This is most likely if you're
using a font server on another system, but this would also most likely
affect Netscape more than WordPerfect, given that WP seems to include
its own font support.
- The fact that X is a networking protocol, which adds some overhead to
its operations. Personally, I don't find that this causes much speed
difference, but others might disagree.
If you can provide some more precise information, including what sort of
video card you're using, the X server you're using with it, and some
measurement of the speed differences, then you might get some more precise
help.

There is only one PPP option are in the 2.0.34 config:

CONFIG_PPP=y
