Change the link to /dev/ttyS1 . cua* devices are obsolete.

Looks like you are trying to upgrade a libc5-based system with glibc2 rpms.
What distro are you using?
Try installing the libc5 version of the svga server.

run
"setserial /dev/cua1" and see if you get something like the following
/dev/cua1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3
if not, then you need to run (and put at the end of your
"/etc/rc.d/rc.local"
file:
/bin/setserial /dev/cua1 autoconfigure
This should be the answer to your question. Write back to the newgroup
if you still have problems.

Subject: Bug? - DDD 3.1.3 & Linux 2.2.1
Date: 06 Feb 1999 11:01:17 +0000
Here's the text of a bug (?) report I've sent to the DDD folks:-
"I'm using DDD 3.1.3 with the above (subject line), and consistently
experience a lockup of DDD when I conduct the following:
1) Start DDD and read in a program to be debugged.
2) Set a breakpoint at an arbitrary line.
3) Make the breakpoint conditional `source->edit
breakpoints->properties'.
4) Run the program until the breakpoint matches, then continue
execution until normal end of execution.
5) Delete initial breakpoint and then try and set a new breakpoint
at another line of the program.
DDD locks up on me completely at this point :-(. An `strace -p'
shows:-
select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [3])
read(3, "\26\0003_\264\4\0\3\264\4\0\3\0\0"..., 32) = 32
read(3, "\1\30C_\0\0\0\0%\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\35"..., 32) = 32
write(3, "\16\0\2\0\27\1\0\3", 8) = 8
read(3, 0xbffde548, 32) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
repeatedly. If it's of any relevance, `xxgdb' locks up on me
immediately as soon as I load it. I'm running XFree86 3.3.3.1 and gdb
4.17, if that has any bearing???
At the moment I'm having to run gdb under Xemacs, where it is still
OK. I'll probably try an older (Linux 2.0.36) kernel to see if it
makes any difference, but I just wondered if you folks had heard
anything similar from others before I go through an irksome process of
elimination."
Anyone else out there getting this?

looks like the DNS entry for the host is not right.
the tcpd wrapper seems to be doing a forward and reverse resolution to avoid
spoofing.
See if you can get your DNS fixed.
log into the machine that is refusing to let you log in and cat /etc/resolv.conf
there should be a line "nameserver X.X.X.X"
run
nslookup - X.X.X.X
> grkenw.dmg-grsd.com
This should respond with the IP address of the system you are telneting
from. If not then DNS is broken.

I've got one on my server. Why should I waste $3-500 for a monitor, a video
card,
keboard and mouse on a machine that no one will ever use directly. You could
get
away with nothing (I've got a few of those also) but this is the main server and
I like to spool the syslog messages to it. It also serves as a way to logon the
server in an emergency when the network is down.

Make sure you're not logged in as root before dialing out :) Found this
worked a treat. Make sure you've chmod +s'd the appropriate file though
or you won't be able to dialup under another login account.
If you are logged in as root and want to dialup, type:
route del default
route add default gw <inet address>
you get your inet address by typing ifconfig.
You'll now find that you can surf away.

You copy the same way as in X, with the left mouse button, but you paste

The message about ppp0 is interesting because I compiled it into the kernel

rather than 'm' ---
so it shouldn't even be LOOKING for a ppp0 module. (Or is ppp something that
must ALWAYS be
compiled as a module, regardless of what the make xconfig program says?)
As for the ppp-compress messages, my /etc/conf.modules file is
alias sound cs4232

Shouldn't this have handled these messages?

Ok, scrap the above and you're probably best off using a user
database. I assume your sendmail is compiled with it? You can find out
with `sendmail -d0.1' - it should mention USERDB amongst other
things. If not you'll have to compile/find a version that does have
it...
Add `define(`confUSERDB_SPEC',/etc/userdb.db)' to your m4 file and
rebuild sendmail.cf
Create a file /etc/userdb with the following in it:
hugues:mailname [EMAIL PROTECTED]
hdemers:maildrop hugues
(You can do the same for other users, if you need, to using the same
format of login name and ISP email address)
Do something like `makemap btree /etc/userdb.db < /etc/userdb' to
build the database, restart sendmail and you should be ok.

You need only know 2 commands - apropos and man. These will give you

There are *no* special key combinations you need for Linux - unlike
Windows.

I did this on my system for a security check and found the following:

These are real files, not links or anything....
Is this a problem, this system hasn't been hacked.
But I may have installed some development rpm's with
rpm -Uvh --replacefiles --replacepkgs
would this do it?
I find this troublesome because it would seem that the
sizes of files have changed?
Also, see the following:
.M...... /usr/lib/libform.so.4
.M...... /usr/lib/libmenu.so.4

try entering your isp's firewall/proxy's IP as the proxy name, this
saves on DNS lookups as well (is what i do)

Hi. If you used the RPM version to get quake2 installed, it locates itself
in /use/local/games/quake2. In order to run it, you need to cd
/usr/local/games/quake2 and then ./quake2
If that doesn't work, try find/ -name quake2 -print
Cheers,
Brendan
