I had a similiar problem. One machine got a prompt immediately
and the one right next to it took minutes.
Is samba installed? If so, make sure all the win95 machines are
in the lmhosts file. This solved it for me.
Good luck.

Subject: Printfilter troubles
Date: Tue, 04 May 1999 13:59:51 GMT
I am having trouble printing with my Epson Stylus 640 after attempting to
update ghostscript, printtools, and rhs-printfilters. I can only print ASCII
dumped directly to the printer port.
I had been printing okay at 360dpi on my Redhat 5.2 system. But after
reading that it was possible to print at 720 and 1440 dpi, I tried it. I
installed ghostscript 5.50 from RPM using "rpm -i --force ghostxxxx.rpm". I
know, I should have been updating, not installing, but oh well. Then I had a
problem with the rhs-printfilters-1.56 because upon trying to update the RPM
it complained about a missing libc.so.6(GLIBC_2) file. I located the file on
my system, copied it to several directories to make sure it would be found
(with links pointing to the right place), ran /sbin/ldconfig, and yet I still
could not install the RPM. I tried installing glibc 2+ versions but that did
not solve the libc.so.6 issue. So I used --nodeps and got it done. Next
printtools (version 3.4 I believe) updated no problem.
When running printtools I see the Epson Stylus Color option which is using
the uniprint driver and I can choose the resolution I want. The problem
comes when trying to print. When printing a web page from Netscape with
images I get pages full of regular ASCII characters. The ghostscript test
(from printtools) printed 3 lines and quit, not even spitting out the paper.
So I wonder if the problem stems from rhs-filters and libc.so.6. Any advice
would be helpful, since I can't print any longer.
I've tried reverting back to the versions of rhs-filters and printtools that
RH5.2 comes with, but the Epson Stylus 600 driver is no longer there.
Ahhhh!!! Do I need to revert to the older version of ghostscript also?

This was prcisely my point. The Linux community in geenral has been
security aware, and thus the existence of such security lapses comes as
a shock. Linux starts out with a relative security problem, and that is
that with source code available, it is easier for people to find
security holes in the system. Thus Linux has become one of the chief
targets for attempted security breaks, so much so that it has a
reputation (not justified in my opinion) of being an insecure OS which
should not be used for anything important.
That same open source of course means taht those same security problems
get fixed much faster (but of course that is not the whole story, since
many people do not keep up with security upgrades or updates. I saw a
posting the other day where someone was apparently still using Redhat
3.0, an OS for which there have existed no security upgrades for a long
time).
But this perception is a danger to the community and to the acceptance
of Linux, and I believe that the vendors have to work at making sure
that the system,as set up on installation, is also relatively secure.
Having games which are suid root is evidence that the vendors have still
not taken this as seriously as they should.
Yes, there are tradeoffs between useability and security. But, as I
stated earlier, making such games runnable only by root, with some
splash screen if they are run by a non-root user saying that they must
be run by root , or made suid root, would be fine.
After all they already do that for such a crucial piece of system
software as pppd. This ships as not suid root, and the user has to
conciously make it suid root for a user to use it. and pppd has
received a lot of security inspection to make sure that it is not a
hole. If that kind of security concern (making the user explicitley
switch on the suid bit) can be evinced for a crucial
piece of system software, why the hell cannot the same be done for a game?

I'm coming back to Unix/Linux after a long haitus, and have lost much of
my Unix familiarity (although it's coming back quick). I seem to remember
a program that lets you extract a range of lines from a text file: sort
of like a grep that matches a range of lines instead of a regex. For
example: dump lines 3-10 from a file to stdout. I've been all over the
man pages trying to figure out if this program exists, or if I could use
grep, cat, head, sed or something similar to do what I want. Does this
ring any bells with anyone? I'm sure it's right in front of me, but I
can't see it.
Thanks,

Except computers are a no-margin kind of engineering endeavor.
There simply isn't typically the extra room in terms of cost
or performance for such shenanigans. Someone has to pay for
all of that either in dollars or performance. The PC hardware
OEM's wont want to and certainly consumers wont want to.
This is how Free Software is gaining a lot of converts to
begin with. It's edging out the competition where it
really matters $$$. People want more for less (as they
typically do in any domain) and Linux or FreeBSD is what's
able to deliver.

I can win if the decyption is done only in instruction decode and the
CPU emulator exists, but can't decode what it doesn't have the key to
decode.
You seem to assume that we would use today's CPU's. I see an
escalation where Intel rolls a new CPU where the decode simply isn't
visible to the programmers model. Even an emulator would need the key.
If that key is different on every CPU, then you see the problem...

I remember Concentric, aka CRIS. The didn't 'officially' support OS/2,
they officially 'didn't support' OS/2. They required the use of an arcane
script to logon and wouldn't allow access without the silly little thing.
I guess userid and passwd isn't enough security.
I hope they've had a change in mindset. I don't think I could get used to
an ISP without a shell account. Mine comes as part of the package but I'd
pay extra to keep it if I had to.
Funny thing about CRIS, why would someone go to the trouble of having a
script when it meant some folk would have a hard time connecting? Doesn't
make sense. I could've gotten around it if I'd known how OS/2 worked.
Now I do, then I didn't. OS/2 has a PPP.EXE similar to 'pppd' that
establishes the connection. All I would have had to do is to write a
command script or REXX program to call all the right players into action.
Ah, such is life.
Take care,

Perhaps not in so many words, but you *would* see the decline of
upgrade treadmills like Microsoft Office. People would ask themselves
wheter it is really worth the $500 to upgrade every 2 years (instead
of copying it from their uncle). This, in turn would lead to more
documents in older formats, which would make upgrading less urgent.
The same would be true for operating systems.
I don't know many users who do *not* illegally copy software (I never do,
as a principle -- but then again, the software I use is almost 100% open
source anyway). Would they actually go out an buy every piece?
I doubt it. They would probably try to pick an alternative which
didn't require such nonsense [enter open source].
