Title: RamFloppy
Version: 1.1
Entered-date: 27JAN99
Description: Small ram linux system for the purpose of system booting
or repairing, a boot-rescue system.
You can put this system on a 1.44 floppy disk and use
it
to mount
other partitions.
It has support for these filesystems.
msdos <Dos OS filesystem, read-write>
umsdos <Allows Linux to run on a Dos system, read-write>
vfat <Win95/98 OS filesystem fat16 and 32, read-write>
ext2 <Linux OS filesystem, read-write>
iso9660 <Cdrom filesystem + joliet extensions, read-only>
minix <Minix OS filesysyem, read-write>
ntfs <Windows NT filesystem (read-write) this is
experimental so procede with caution>
ufs <FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD filesystems, read-write>
The kernel is version '2.1.132'.
You need at least 8 Megabytes of RAM = Memory to boot
RamFloppy.
You need at least a 386 CPU to boot RamFloppy.
You can extract it like this
'C:\ ramf-11.exe'.
It's a RAR archive, if you want to extract it on
a linux system do this 'unrar x ramf-11.exe'.

ifconfig | grep ppp0
gives the ip address for both ends of the connection (use the "local"
one)
you can put something like this in your script
==========================
while [ 1 ]
do
# get the ip address with sed
IP_OLD=`ifconfig | grep ppp0 | sed "blah blah blah"`
sleep 600 # 600 seconds = 10 minutes
IP_NEW=`ifconfig | grep ppp0 | sed "blah blah blah"`
if [ "$IP_OLD" != "$IP_NEW" ]
# email ip adress to wherever
fi
done

Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1999 20:31:30 GMT
Hi,
I hesitate to make this posting, but I just could not find a way out of a
somewhat Catch 22 situation: I have just bought some books on Linux from
RedHat (I have RedHat 5.1 installed), including the Linux Complete Commands
Reference. But! If Ihappen to know the name of the command, I can find all
the info I could ask for. But what do I do if I want to find which command to
use for a certain action/service? The command names are so abbreviated I
can't make any sense. I guess what I need is a reverse command refernce-if
one such exists!
I would appreciate any advice

I am interested in writing a script (or finding) that will parse the
ASCII
INBOX mail file.
I don't know how to handle attachments. How would you take the part of
the

Is there any code that anyone knows of that would give me hints (e.g.,

I can't help you with any of the experience you are looking for, but I would
like to say that I think you may have a great idea there. I hope you get it
to work. I'm a network administrator on a massive Novell 4.11 system, and
I'm just delving into Linux at home now. I'd be more than interested in
listening in on a half-hour radio show like that. I don't always have time
to cruise through news groups, but I can always listen to the
radio/realaudio while I'm working, which is most of the time.
Good luck

Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1999 20:17:00 -0000
Hi,
I recently installed the Slackware 3.5 distribution of Linux (my first ever
forray into the Linux world) and, after some struggling manage to run
XFree86.
I had a graphics problem whereby I seemed to be running at a really low
screen resolution and couldn;t see most of the screen. I could, however, see
a really cute penguin on a Start button very similar to the Windows 95/98/NT
that I'm used to.
I discovered that my graphics card (a Creative Labs 3D Blaster PCI) could
only use the VGA16 X server, which I didn't have; I only had the XSVGA
server.
I upgraded XFree86 from version 3.3.2 to 3.3.3 and gained the necessary X
Server in the process. However, now when I type 'xstart' I have lost my cute
penguin and have some rather drab looking pale blue windows, one says
'login' and the other two say 'xterm'.
Anyone know how to relocate my lost penguin?

Have you configured a virtual printer (or printers) that work
outside of WP? i.e., can you say lpr -P<printername> something.ps
and it'll print? If so, just tell WP that you've got a Postscript
printer and give <printername> as the destination.

How do I do it exactly? It's the sort of Ditto that plugs into the floppy
drive controller. See, I'm not sure if it's plugged in the right way, or
if it works, so trial and error would be a bit difficult...

Can you post the contents of the /etc/fstab file.
This is what the system uses to map partitions to mount points
and should be the definitive source of inforation.
Correcting the problem is another story. If this is a new
installation I would suggest reinstalling as the easiest way.

Try "apropos" or "man -k".
An "apropos floppy" for example will display all commands, which have to do
with floppies.

But the average user never uses the OS as such - they interface solely
with their applications on a correctly set up system. Millions of people
used DOS in this way and found it perfect for their needs at the time.

HP-UX runs on HP workstations, which do not use x86 processors. So
HP-UX binaries will not run on an x86 machine or any other machine on
which Red Hat 5.2 is supported.
Shell scripts written for HP-UX, on the other hand, have a good chance
of running under Linux. I have a few that I use both at work under
HP-UX and at home under RH5.1.

Subject: SAMBA 2.0 + Linux 2.2.0 + Glibc 2.0.110
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1999 17:18:21 -0500
Hello all,
I think I found a new sport for those who are bored, compileing samba
2.0 on
Linux 2.2.0 w/ devel glibc. Here's my experience so far. By default it
shouldn't
build, screaming about __XX__NEVER_USE_STRCAT__XX__. I can swallow that,
BUT it
gives this error when it encounteres an strncat! The reason is,
glibc-2.0.110 uses
bits/string.h instead of string.h when you enable optimization. Quick
and dirty fix
is disable optimization. Next time it fails by complaining that
scructure stat64 is
not defined. Aparently because _GNU_SOURCE isn't defined for some
reason. Again,
simple enough define _GNU_SOURCE and compile. Next error is missing
definion of NULL
in one of files (it has just enough includes to NOT had NULL defined). I
solved that
by either including a file that has definition of NULL or just defining
it there.
At this point main part of samba builds. But of course I want to have
smbmount. And
here it really lets me have it. NR_OPEN isn't defined. Of course, it is
defined in
linux/fs.h, but attemptint to include that creates conflicts w/ glibc
includes. I
guess I could define straight out, but I don't think it's a great
solution.
So, what I am wondering if anybody tried to build samba on config
similar to mine
and if they ran into similar problems.
- Lev

Well, in theory NT has what is called "batch setup" (I am not sure for
exact name, bit the point is to fully/partly automate installation
process across network) but each time I tried it it failed miserably.
Now, having contributed to this fruitful discussion, I wonder why each
such thread quickly degenerates to *nix-NT holy war. Being a Linux
enthusiast for a while I strongly consider these days to try (Free?)BSD
so the whole issue is very interesting to me, but this repeating NT
off-topic is really annoying.

Emergency Audit Response System (EARS) v0.7 released!
Tishina Syndicate has launched one of the first non-profit,
non-academic, open source efforts in development of an intrusion
detection system for Linux, operating on a distributed level, in
real-time.
The goal is trivial: code that "understands" your network. Meaning:
a. Peer-to-peer communications among separate agents via secure TCP/IP
channels to monitor, detect and respond to anomalies occurring in
real-time on the network.
(Global Predicate Evaluation)
b. Independent intrusion detection on per-host basis by each individual
agent in the local environment via control of:
Filesystem(s)
CPU
User environment
Network interfaces
Keeping one hand reaching for stars and other in the dirt, we're
currently devising the distributed algorithms and protocols. There's
still a load of work to be finished, so snatch your slice before they
disappear.
Visit Tishina Syndicate home to obtain EARS source, in addition to a
substantial security archive and a link collection.
Open source has done it again!
