Try the mount option 'norock'. If that doesn't work, try both 'norock'

That is about right. You should consider, though, that when you write
such a wrapper, you should check the environment for values that might
cause the called script to do things in wan't intended to do. Among other
things the PATH variable, the IFS variable, and probably a lot more.
Best thing is to totally define an environment with only the PATH,
SHELL, LOGNAME variables. Also, it is obvious that the shell scripts
are not writable, and the directories containing the scripts are not
writable either. Maybe you should consider making the shell scripts
not even readable by anyone but root.
If you don't do this, we might just as well have suid shell script,
with the security riscs that creates.

Subject: LPRng problems
Date: 17 Mar 1999 08:20:57 GMT
I've just upgraded my LPR from BSD to LPRng and I'm having some problems
getting it to work properly. This is after not having problems with BSD's
LPR before.
`lpq` results in:
Host 'localhost' - cannot open connection to `in@localhost' - Connection
refused
Using `lpr stmlogo.ps -D 1` results in my screen being filled up with the
following:
in: seteuid_wrapper: Before RUID/EUID 0/0, DaemonUID 7, UID_root 1
in: seteuid_wrapper: After uid/euid 0/0
This is happening with both Debian Linux PCs that have been upgraded from
the BSD LPR to LPRng. It's odd, since I just removed LPRng and reinstalled
LPR and it works fine.
I really need to have LPRng going, though, as one of my filters depends
upon being able to pass a command-line option via LPRng's -Z option.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have a look into Arrow, if it's an X11 Eudora-ish app you're after. It's a
semi-matured application, but, the author is reponsive and I reckon it's

Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1999 03:46:18 -0500
While some of the early debate about NT vs Linux in this thread was
very informative, lately it's become dominated by inaccurate
information about NT and exaggerations about its advantages and
pitfalls. When the other chap claimed that Explorer isn't the GUI,
and that separate instances of it run concurrently, I wondered just
what claims you can get away with in this forum. NT causes third
world debt? NT causes sterility? NT eats babies?
Yes, NT includes more GUI code than some other apps and some of it
may be loaded in memory when there's no-one logged on the system.
However, the claims about NT being slugged by the GUI when it's
acting as a server are not justified as far as I'm concerned. You
can monitor NT's resource usage very accurately without any third
party tools using Performance Monitor, and you can do this remotely
for an unattended server. Try this yourself and see the results.

You can login using telnet and run any character mode application just the
same as you would under Unix. The standard NT command shell did have a problem
in this area since it was not written with this in mind and changes which one
user made to the environment could impact on another user. There were
alternative command shells available which did not suffer from this and I
believe that it has now been fixed in the standard shell, though I haven't
tried it for some time, so I can't be sure...
It is certainly true that MS did not anticipate NT being used this way - the
accepted architecture for multi-user Windows family applications is two or
three tier client-server with the clients running on low(er) end PCs under one
of the Windows varients and a small number of high spec servers running NT for
the lower tiers plus file and print services. We have built several packages
using this architecture and it works fine. It is, of course, possible to
achieve the same using Unix on the servers and we have also done that with
equal success. There is also nothing to stop the clients also being Unix
machines other than cost - before Linux came along, the price of a single user
Unix licence for each workstation would have been too high. Linux may have
solved that, but there is still a lack of good development tools for the
client end...

Yes. It's more difficult than sharing it between two distributions
of Linux but it is possible. (I've done that in the past myself...)
However, it will only save maybe 100M on your hard disk, which might
not be worth the trouble, especially as you can easily trash your
partitions if you make a mistake. More so if you are inexperienced
with Linux/UN*X or the PC partition system...
If you still want to, what you need is basically the Swap-space mini-HOWTO
(ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/unmaintained/mini/Swap-Space).
It describes a way to share Linux and Windows swap, but it applies to OS/2
as well, provided that you know how to use SWAPPATH in your CONFIG.SYS...
Also, it is a bit outdated, in that many Linux distributions use multiple
startup/shutdown scripts executed in a specific order as opposed to one.
What it suggests is to:
- dedicate a partition to swap (put SWAPPER.DAT alone on a FAT partition),
- modify your Linux startup scripts to mkswap it (overwrite and change it
to a Linux swap partition),
- set your Linux shutdown scripts so that they restore the FAT filesystem.
It could be safer to use a Linux swap file on the FAT partition, but I
haven't done it. It might hurt performance too, compared to using a swap
partition, but not that much...
By the way, does anybody know how to swap only in the data area of a FAT
partition, instead of erasing the filesystem on each boot?
Hope this helps,
Cedric.

That's a valid point, though I think you'll find that the actual
cost of an MCSE has been somewhat exaggerated (by MCSEs trying to
put others off the exam?). For about $100 or so you can sit one of
the exams and get an MCP, which is accepted by many firms that don't

First check your printer documentation to see which character set it is using -
there is a small possibility that it is set to ASCII-only. If this is the case,
you are going to have to find the printer code for changing the character set to
one with accents in it. ISO-8859-1 would be perfect, but I bet that your printer
was manufactured before that standard even existed. In any case, find out what
character set it is using.
Next, modify the filter for your printer to recode ISO-8859-1 characters into the
character set that your printer understands. This is done with the GNU recode
utility. You should start seeing properly accented characters. The French-HOWTO
explains this a bit. Go 'recode --help' to get a quick explanation of recode
options. 'recode latin1:ibmpc' will work in many cases.
For example, I have an HP550C DeskJet printer. In my printer filter, I precede
every job with a printer command sequence to change the character set to HPROMAN8
and then apply the appropriate recode filter to stdin afterwards.
The queue entry in /etc/printcap looks like this:
#
latin1:\
:lp=/dev/lp1:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/latin1:\
:lf=/usr/spool/lpd/latin1/errs:\
:if=/usr/spool/lpd/latin1/lpf:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:sf:
#
and the filter (/var/spool/lpd/latin1/lpf) looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
# Filter for HP printers to treat LF as CRLF
# PLUS recode for (almost) proper ISO-8859-1 character treatment
# the ``echo -ne'' assumes that /bin/sh is really bash
echo -ne \\033\&k2G
echo -ne \\033\(8U
/usr/local/bin/recode latin1:hproman8
echo -ne \\f
The first "echo" is the control code for LF->CRLF translation, the second "echo"
switches character sets, and the final "echo" is for ejecting the page.
Hope this helps,

Subject: IDE Cache Controller TEKRAM DC-680T (VL-Bus)
Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1999 14:18:12 +0400
I welcome All!
I, have IDE Cache Controller TEKRAM DC-680T (VL-Bus), but I can not find the
driver under Linux.
On www.tekram.com, I anything under Linux have not found, is only under SCO
Unix, Novel Netware, Windows 95/NT.
Maintenance of function of caching under DOS, in this controller, are written
down in BIOS, but I think, that in Linux, without the driver, function of
caching will not work.
Help me to connect this controller under Linux.
The answers, I ask to send on mine Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Beforehand is grateful for the help.

Hmm.. I guess I should share this with you so that you can have a good
laugh..
Once upon a time (many many years ago), when I was using UMSDOS on a 386
with 4mb RAM. I activated swap on /dev/hda1 (the DOS-partition)... I
still don't know why I did it.. But it crashed my FAT....
And, with the same computer, I wanted to compile a new kernel (1.2.13)..
But it gave me a message sayng virtual memory exhausted.. and.. since I
didn't have a swappartition (read above.. ;), and I didn't know about
swapfiles under Linux., I substitued all /dev/hda1 to /dev/fd0 in the
instructions about swappartitions ;) .. and. . It worked.. but
slooooow.. ;)..

Recompile the kernel to include iso9660 support.

dos2ux (or probably dos2unix) is solving your problem

Subject: Floppy Drive Mounting Problem
Hi. I installed Red Hat 5.2 on a Micron NetFrame 3100. The problem I'm having
is that during and after the installation, Linux does not want to mount the
floppy drive. I tried the command
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
The drive light comes on but it just hangs. After waiting a (long) while, I
take the disk out, and it generates an "Unable to handle kernel paging request
at virtual address cc03df10". I haven't included all of it here because it's a
standalone machine and I'd have to type it all in, but if it can be of use, I
will. Any thoughts on what might be causing this?
BTW, Mounting the cdrom drive works fine.

Subject: Two single ide cards
Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1999 10:19:45 +0000 (GMT)
I have two IDE i/o cards, both with a single IDE interface.
I've tried using both in the same machine at once, but the
machine hangs at boot (when the bios prints "WAIT..."). Both
cards work by themselves.
Is it actually possible to do this? Is there some jumper
setting I might change to get it to work? I can imagine
if both cards are trying to use the same irq or i/o addresses
there'd be problems, but then cards with two IDE interfaces
work somehow.
