Nope, actually I got interrupted mid-post by people who needed the modem.
Such is life in the technological wastelands. My connection to this here
net (while at work) consists of a 2400 bps terminal session. This modem is
shared between 3 people. Further whinging will be seen on a.t-s.r, don't
you worry. However this is not the place.

Yup. 191.1.1.5 is a SCO Openserver 5.04 workstation.

Motive supplied was my reason for tracking this down. Otherwise, well,

No other SCO systems systems are broadcasting crap. Further, niether Linux

Both Linux systems complain, actually. The one listed was an example.

Sarky again? There's a difference between the .recovery newsgroups and
the informational newsgroups, IMHO. We're all clueless about some things
sometimes (see Scott Adams "The Dilbert Zone"), which is why these sorts
of support newsgroups are bloody useful.
I try to keep to at *least* a 4:1 ratio of helping posts for every
request for help. Turning a support newsgroup into the same one-up-manship
contest that a.t-s.r (but far more frequently a.s.r) can become, isn't
something I'd like to see here, IMHO.

Nope, nyet and no.
And no, I have no control over the numbering. And yes, I informed the
individual concerned about the correct ranges last year.
At this stage, we're UUCP-only apart from our local LAN, so the numbering
is an irrelevant issue vastly tangental to this posting.

I guess building bombs and dropping them on people counts as 'social
interaction' in a strange way, but it seems like you're twisting things

Or you could fix it. Then the various programs that rely on Sendmail
will still be able to use it. (eg, for local mail transfer, etc.) It's
trying to resolve it's own domain-name, which is probably set up wrongly
(as default) in the /etc/sendmail.cf
Look for the line where it talks about "my official domain name", and
change it to, say
Dlocalhost.localdomain
and just make sure that /etc/hosts has
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
in it.

Linux can not cope with UDF format CDs (the format created with Direct
CD). You probably have a UDF disk that been "closed" to ISO9660 level 3
format.
What you are seeing is one of the separate "packets" that make up your
files.

Okay, so let's say that Linux is better than System V in its earlier
incarnations. For the sake of the argument, let's even say that Linux is
better than BSD in its earlier incarnations.
However, these OSes have since evolved past that point. In fact, I
would say that they are several years evolved past that point, if not
decades beyond. Linux is still playing catch-up, and the playing field
you have is not Linux versus ten-year old System V or BSD, but Linux
versus *modern* System V or BSD.
You can't have your time warp and eat it too.

I finally got my raid0 system running on /home /usr /opt. Thinking ahead
I first decided to use /dev/md5 for /home, so I can add the other five
part.'s later. But mdcreate -c128k raid0 /dev/md5 /dev... /dev/...
sait that all constituents /dev/.. be 'invalid arguments.' Replacing
/dev/md5 with /dev/md3 works fine. And yes, I mknod'ed /dev/md{4,5} with
major number 9 and minor numbers 4,5 prior to attemting to mdcreate.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
It is very easy with the use of control panal->Printer Configuration
utility in RH. Steps are more or less self explanatory. Also have a look
at Printing-HOWTO.
Good Luck,

Compiling a kernel on a different machinej is fine, but the kernel
makefile compiles the kernel to look for the root of the filesystem in
whatever partition it is on itself. If this is a different partition on
the recipient, it will fail to find it. You have several options:
1) Look at "man rdev". This allows you to change the root partition
definition in a kernel image.
2) Use a kernel parameter - try adding "root=/dev/hda1" (for example),
which I think is done by adding 'append="root=/dev/hda1"' to lilo.conf
and rerunning...? (I use LOADLIN, myself).
3) Recompile the kernel after editing the top-level Makefile
(/usr/src/linux/Makefile). Somewhere in that file you will find a
definition for the root device, which reads "CURRENT" by default.
Best of luck,
Mark.
