Looks like they are doing an IDENT on your system. If you don't want them
to, comment out
'auth' line in your /etc/inetd.conf. However, some servers require it for
you to connect to them,
especially IRC servers.
I don't know of any security issues with ident. If I were you, I'd make
sure my telnet, rsh, rlogin,
finger, talk, and basically anything else you don't use are commented out
of /etc/inetd.conf.
Often best to be a little paranoid.

This is pretty easy. First, you need to run lpd on both the Linux and OS/2
boxes. I
run lpd under inetd on OS/2, it can be started from the command line however.
Share the printers under OS/2. The share name becomes the queue name under
Linux. For example, I have a setup much like yours. I have two printers on one
lpt1 port. The shares are named PS (postscript) and HP (pcl). You can use the
redhat printtool to set up the queues on linux.
Let me know how you make out.

Hi All,
I am using Slakware 3.6 with a 2.2.4 Linux kernel with
the netatalk package included in the Slackware.
All work fine, except for one thing, when two users tried
to open the same file they have no special message. So when they
save the file the last user who saves the file looses changes
made by the other.
I don't understand why or where I can see or check.
Could you please give me some help or any pointers ?

ping should be setuid root.
As for Netscape, try rm -rf ~rwhite/.netscape (replace rwhite with
whatever your username is). If anything in that directory is owned

Check if lo(localhost) is active by command "/sbin/ifconfig".
If lo isn't active, check file "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo".
That file must be this:

Hi Linux community members,
How is it possible that Linux has succesfuly grown by contributions from
so many different persons, without degenerating into chaos ?
Where did the structures originate, and become disciplined/enforced to:
collect bug reports and enhancements, to feed into next code update,
..........................................documentation update,
enable contributions from dispersed outsiders, yet avoid chaos from
undiscipled/incompetent 'members',
allow division of labour, (specialisation) in co-operated efforts,

With IRIX 6.4, you should be able to look at the CPU usage of the

all have the same amount of CPU usage and it's a significant number,
you need more nfsds running.
Of course, if the O200 had filesystem issues as was described in
the initial post, you want to resolve those before trying to figure
out why NFS may be having issues -- start with current patches.

First off, I've never seen any evidence that "Linux" should be capitalised
like that. It grates on my ears, anyway, and it makes it sound like a fat
commercial Unix. Second, this is the result of some program that was using
the console directly not exiting properly. It could happen when logged in
under any username. Type `stty sane` (no, it won't echo).

It depends on what shell you're using and how it's set up, as it would on
any Unix. Probably the up and down arrow keys. By default, RedHat (and
most other distributions) set bash to use Emacs keys, because vi keys
would frustrate and confuse users.

Furthermore, you can use setterm to turn powersave on.
setterm [ -blank [0-60] ] [ -powersave [on|off] ]
I think you'll have to use APM to power down the hard drive. But don't.
Bad idea. So never mind that idea.

This usually happen to me when I quit �man� or �less� with "Ctrl-C"
instead of "q" by mistake. Try �reset� or �stty sane�, if it doesn�t
work, simply switch to another VC (with "Alt-Fx", x = 1..6) or open
another xterm, and kill the process.

I use bash, and it works just like DOSKEY (well ... ;-), using the
cursor keys (up and down).

What exactly do you want to do ?
If you're really tight on hd and mem, depending on what your trying to
accomplish, you might want to just create some .html pages and .gifs,
use apache to serve them and netscape to browse.
You can make some nice looking stuff, present it at a meeting and then
make it available on your LAN or on the internet for reference
afterwards.

I thought his point was that "redHat sucks" would refer to a sucky
distribution (singular), not a sucky company of people (plural
in British). We all know the Red Hat guys don't suck. (The brims

Yes, although some may need extra libraries.
: Q2:what is difference in kernels for different Linux flavours?
None. All distros use the same kernel. The only difference may be the
version of the kernel that was available at the release of a particular
distribution.
: Q3:What is difference (technical) between Unix and Linux?
One was originally written in the 1960s for use on mainframes, and was
"evolved" over time until today.
One was begun in the 1980s by Linus Torvalde as a pet I/O project, which
then expanded to include file systems and scheduling, and quickly became a
unix-LIKE operating system.
Now, there's very little difference, but it can't be called Unix because a
licence would have to be purchased to use that name.

My first guess would be heat. Or lack of it. I used to have a horrendously
terrible Seagate Hawk, that generated so much heat that it had become
brain-damaged. I installed a fan card, and it helped, but not much. So, I
took the Seagate out. But I started to experience problems like this.
Until I took the fancard out.
