Sport, I work with flight software at JSC. I do have my facts
correct about station operations. Here is a quote from the article
you gave the URL for:
=>Two separate ThinkPad 760s, running the Solaris version of Unix,
=>will let the crew run the station.
The NT stuff is non-critical office stuff. The station flight computers
are UNIX. So are the laptops the crew use to run the station.
Originally, the laptops were going to be dual boot, but now the
mission critical ones are UNIX only.

Date: Fri, 19 Feb 1999 22:23:46 -0500
Can someone please take me through the details (or point me to a FAQ) for
adding new disk and making the space available for my linux system. Here is
what I tried:
Have:
Linux on 1G (4 partitions of IDE drive)
Free Space on 1 Gig new SCSI drive
Used:
cfdisk to create partition (partition shows up as 0M instead of 1000M)
mkfs.ext2 to "format" (didn't know how many blocks to specify - assumed
blank would do the whole partition - not).
used linuxconf to mount /dev/sda as /main - could only use about 20M then it
said it was full.
Goofy part is that it kept showing up as a 0M mount. What "type" of
partition should I make it? linux ext? linux?
Thanks

Try opening the firewall for incoming IDENT (tcp port 113) connections -
you don't actually need to run an IDENT server on the internal box, so
it isn't much of a security issue. Or if this isn't acceptable, if
possible make the firewall respond with RST, or at least not send any
ICMP message, when such a connection is attempted.

How can I find the filename string from the inode in the ext2 filesystem?
I know that all the filenames are stored as directory entries. But how do
you access the directory entries?

Subject: NT Boot Menu won't work - help
Date: Fri, 19 Feb 1999 22:31:16 -0500
I believe I had followed directions for using the NT boot menu to maintain a
triple boot (W98, WNT, linux). Boot.ini looks like:
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="NT Server 4.00"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="NT Server 4.00 [VGA mode]"
/basevideo /sos
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(5)\="linux"
C:\="Microsoft Windows"
I installed linux last and the only way that it boots is to use the boot
disk that I created during setup. It actually works just fine, but it would
be a lot nicer if I could use the boot menu instead of hunting for the
floppy every time I want to use linux. It tries when I select it off the
menu, but I get some dump.
Thanks,
Doug Paradis

ldd is fixed in glibc 2.1 and will report the right libraries.

Help - What generic SCSI II card for 2.0.9 and DAT
I need to put a SCSI card (only need SCSI II) in a machine
running 2.0.9 ELF (pre glibc) to drive a DAT drive. Soon I shall
be putting Redat 5.2 on there but not yet.
When I ask our technicians to order a card they can only
come up with the latest whizz-bang do everything 90mph
ultra-wide SCSI III device which isn't quite in the hardware list
(at least for 2.0.9) for example "Adaptec 2940UWOF Ultra Wide Open
Firmware SCSI Card Kit" because that's what people want to sell.
What I want is something generic that works
(PCI slot or ISA - I don't care as lonmg as its fast enough
for the DAT).
What card should I tell them to get that you can still get easily
and will work with 2.0.9 PCI bus machine and a DAT ?
(It has to work *before* I put rh5.2 on).
Will the 2940UWOF work with kernel 2.0.9 (re-compiled of course) ?

Hi there.
I cannot succeed compiling window maker 0.51.0 on a new installed suse
6.0.
The error message go this way:
checking for PLGetString in -lPropList... no
ERROR!!! libPropList is not installed, or could not be found.
Window Maker requires libPropList to build.
Please read INSTALL to find where you can find libPropList,
and install it first.
The funny thing is that LibPropList IS installed. Here is an output of
rpm -ql libPropList:
/usr/include/proplist.h
/usr/lib/libPropList.a
/usr/lib/libPropList.la
/usr/lib/libPropList.so
/usr/lib/libPropList.so.0
/usr/lib/libPropList.so.0.1.1
I also try with intalling the libPropList devel rpm, but it didnt change
the error message.
I cannot find any option in the configuration file to tell the script
where to look at this library neither do i know where does it looks for
them by default.
Have i to learn to live without window maker or any of you had a genius
idea to help me fix this problem ?
That would be nice :)
Have a nice day.

Most decent firewalls won't allow persistent connections like that, only
temporary ones. Better firewalls, if they allow persistent connections, only
allow them from certain hosts. Probably won't work for him.

Tough call. It can be done, but it's a tricky thing to pull off. Basically,
you'll have a stateless front end (CGI) that has be able to talk to another
package that's maintaining the persistent connection. Then you have to
consider the security aspects--do you really want to do this over a plain text
connection? Are you going to implement SSL, then? How many sessions do you
want to allow and maintain simultaneously?
You've just opened a whole can of worms.
