I'm using an old DX4-100, 40 megs ram and 16 megs of swap and I haven't
had that problem. I have a glitch in sending email, but that isn't
really a priority.
I followed the instructions for modifying /etc/profile and used
ns-install to /communicator.
The only different thing I've done was to place a copy of the java*.jar
file (excuse me but I'm currently in OS/2 and don't want to reboot to
give the exact file name) where netscape Gold 3.01 had it,
/usr/local/netscape I believe is the path. I moved the old Java file to
another directory and renamed my /home/.netscape file.
Almost forgot. I updated my lib* files with the netscape fix that
theopolis has on his web page a while back.
ldd /communicator/netscape reports all lib files are present and
accounted for.

I'm pretty much a newbie to Linux, but I thought you couldn't crash the
machine with an application. Or, putting it another way, what things
(drivers, etc.) can crash a Linux system if written/installed wrong?

Look for guava or kaffe installed as an rpm. If you find it get rid of it. I
have seen where conflicts between java vm's have caused this bad behavior. Best

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have been having some weird problems recently, one of which is man
<cmd> spitting out that groff is not a directory and such, explained
further in (two :( previous posts..
I've also noticed that fetchmailconf does not work under my normal
userid, but it does work under root.
python </usr/bin/fetchmailconf does indeed work under my normal userid.
The error reported is:
env: python: Not a directory
Under root it executes fine, but only if root is the login, su doesn't
change the problem.
Perhaps this will lead to a fix to my other problems.. I can't begin to
imagine what I've done to make this stuff break. I have a pretty clean
install of RedHat 5.2, and I've certainly not done any big chmoding of
files, no rm -r's in the wrong places, etc..
I'd really like to get my system working properly again!
Thanks!

Subject: mountd changes and Redhat.
Date: 27 May 1999 22:11:57 GMT
Dear oh dear. Why does redhat not warn when they change significantly
the behaviour of a crucial component.
Mountd has suddenly been changed to use the wrapper like stuff. This in
principle is good. But it is awful when they do not tell you. I
installed the new nfs/mountd a while ago and restarted them. recently a
number of my machines started not being ablt to mount the filesystems
from this Linux machine. I just wasted 4 or 5 hours trying to track down
what was happening.
mountd now requires entries into the /etc/hosts.allow and
/etc/hosts.deny files in order to operate. Otherwise it simply rejects
the call (not even responding to the calling system). Of course mountd
is only called when the remote system is trying to mount, not once it
has been mounted, so this bahaviour was not obvious to the other
systems, which already had nfs running from this system. But anytime
some remote machine died or had to mount something, it was refused.
(Of course no reason given).
It would be really really nice if redhat told us about these changes
when installing the rpm. Even a single line
"mountd has changed its operation and now requires entries into
/etc/hosts.allow. Please read the man pages carefully"
would be helpful.
(Or did I just miss exactly such a warning?)

I have trouble with your premise. You are selling him connectivity. Now
it seems you want to also control what he does with that connectivity--
ie control what information he sends down that line. This I believe to
be inappropriate.
In certain jurisdicitons your attempt to portscan him would be
considered a criminal offense.
I at least would be happier if you based your service on what you
actually supply, not on what he does with it. Ie, you could demand that
he only connect for a maximum of say 5 hours a day, and that he not use
more than a certain number of packets. But to base it on content, is I
believe wrong. It would be like your selling him a pencil and demanding
that he not draw nudes with that pencil (you have another price for
pencils which the user draws nudes with), and you want to install a
video camera into his house to make sure that he does not draw nudes
with this pencil.

I am seeing problems with the knfs stuff also, but only with some
clients. An OS/2 box can still mount a file system on the linux
server normally, but an HP-UX box will show the mount point as
established but will not be able to see the files. A bdf displays the
nfs mount and the correct space utilization, even tho the mount dir is
empty. Without even the . and .. entries.

I'm using the same Linksys card that you are using, and it seems to
work great, although I haven't pounded on the Linux box very hard.
Just because they are cheap doesn't make them bad.
I think your theory on a hardware problem is very good, specifically
a conflict with the different cards on your PCI bus. With my Abit
BH-6 (my Win computer), the AGP and the first PCI slot share the
same IRQ, and it is generally considered very bad mojo to have two
high bandwidth devices, like a video card and a NIC, try to co-exist
on one interrupt. Sometimes it works, but usually you get weird
problems.
Your second hardware configuration will probably work much better.
If you are using the Abit BH-6, you might want to check for a flash
ROM upgrade; this would allow you to assign an IRQ for each PCI
slot.
I experienced this kind of problem first hand when I added a NIC
card to my Win98 box. After experiencing all sorts of strange
problems and lockups, I noticed that my sound card and NIC were
sharing an interrupt. After moving a card to allow the BIOS to give
each device a separate IRQ, all the problems went away. Apparently
IRQ sharing is somewhat a fantasy. :)

Most of the FreeBSD ported software archives are also stored on the
numerous FreeBSD mirrors (and are shipped on the FreeBSD CDROMS). This
provides the same redundancy. If the source can no longer be found on
the author's site, the port-building software goes to the backup
mirrors. Typicly, however, the authors will keep several older releases
in place too...
