microsoft is incapable of understanding how to configure time for a
dual boot machine or dealing with multiple time zones. this also
gives rise to the h24 reboot bug (you can have some sort of minor
disaster while rebooting during the seconds around midnight since
microsoft wants to fiddle with your clock).
after struggling through daylight savings time adjust-o-rama (windows
would boot and say, hey i need to adjust for daylight savings time
conveniently forgetting that it had done so a little while ago), i
gave up trying to fix windows.
my tips for a modicum of time sanity on a dual boot system:
* set cmos time to gmt.
* configure linux use gmt and display time offsets.
* let nt think it's gmt. microsoft is such a lose. you can't fix it
so just accept it and let it lose.
it isn't perfect but at least time doesn't jump around all over the
place.

You can no doubt still find Mosaic on some ftp sites, but
it's several years since development stopped. I think
you would find it quite primitive compared to Netscape,
though of course it was a brilliant innovation in its day.

You'll start a flame war with a question like this...which dist is best
is purely subjective...try a couple or better yet try them all
Slackware, RH, SuSE, Debian, Stampede, Mandrake, etc...and draw your own
conclusions.
As docs, books and web sites...LDP and FAQ's...O'Reily Linux
books...www.linux.org, www.ssc.com and a new brand new (last month) site
www.linux.com (this one is by VA Research) which has lots of newbie

to monitor telnet activity, try the netstat command.
show all connections:
% netstat -a | grep telnet
count all connections:
% netstat -a | grep telnet | grep -v LISTEN | wc -l
I hook my scripts to a visual monitor that cycles every 5 minutes and
lights up when connections exceed some threshold.
Looks like this screen:

Subject: New to Linux
Date: Wed, 9 Jun 1999 16:21:41 +0800
Hi,
I've dabbled in Linux before (then I moved to Singapore). I'm thinking
about getting back into it.
I currently use NT (please no flames -- I like NT and use it everyday). I
have programmed some drivers for NT and do a lot of web development / socket
programming / etc.
I would like to start to use Linux to do some web development.
My first question is:
1) Can I use Linux on the PowerMac G3's?? You know, the really cool
designer boxes? Do I have to remove the Mac OS or can I use it in
conjunction with? Any info on Mac OS X?? Any good?
---
I have developed a major web application in Asia for our company. Most of
the hits come from users with either IE4/IE5 or Netscape version 4 and
above. (Actually, more than 50% of our users use IE4 and above -- and 23%
of the users overall were running NT)
Anyway, this leads to my second question:
2) What is the best browser for Linux? I assume this is Netscape. What is
the latest version for Linux, and what JavaScript version does it currently
support? 1.1? 1.2? DHTML support?
Currently, IE5 has the best JavaScript support and DHTML support (even
though the DHTML extensions aren't standard -- but neither are Netscape's)
Hurry up W3C!!
I need to support IE4+ and Netscape 4.0+ for our web application. Is the
object model under Linux/Netscape different than under Windows? I know that
it is different (slightly) under IE4+ for the Mac. when compared to IE4+ for
Windows.
---
3) I'd like to find some Linux users in Asia, specifically Singapore if
possible. Haven't seen or heard much interest at all. Although, I have
seen some Linux CD's for sale here (the same places that they sell Office
2000 for $20 dollars :)
Anyway, any pointers would be appreciated.
---
4) Graphic cards, sound cards.
Is the Soundblaster Live and Voodoo3 cards fully supported under Linux? NT
supports these 100% with all of their features. I'd like to be able to use
these two cards under Linux... Alternatively, if the Voodoo3 isn't
supported, I could buy a Riva TNT2 card... is that supported?
---
5) Printer support.
I'd like to be able to use the HP Deskjet 89x series under Linux. Again, NT
supports 100% of the printing functionality (which is quite good :)
Does Linux support this printer? If not, what about the HP Laserjet 1100*
series?
---
Well, thanks for any info provided. I'm looking forward to getting into
Linux again. I bought RedHat 5.2 back in the states.
I believe I read a reference to RedHat 6.0? Is it worth getting?
An email response would be appreciated...
Thanks,
Todd

Charles,
Can't imagine what would cause this to happen intermittently. Depending on your
shell (I use tcsh) I would try "setenv TERM vt100" and then "resize". This
should help.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
First of all, thank you very much for your help. I would like to describe what
exactly I am now trying to do in breif.� I implement a sequential decoder (for
convolutional codes) in C. It reads the input sequence to be decoded from
stdin. The input sequence is truncated into blocks. The decoder usually spends
different amout of time to decode each received input frame. I would like to
measure how much of time used to decode one frame. Usually one frame needs less
than 1 ms decoding time. One solution that I am now doing is to measure� the
time to decode every 20 frames of 10,000 frames (total) which is not exactly I
want but it's the only way I can think of now. That's why I would like the
resolution in micro-second to measure the time to decode each frame (not each
10 frames) and then print it out. In fact, I would like to increase the frame
length to be 10 times or 20 times longer but it's not possible because there is
not enough memory. Could you please give me some more idea please? Many thanks
in advance,
Regards,
Virasit

Quick question. I'm looking for some sort of script (I'm sure it
would be easy enough to write but I'm not a programmer) that would
monitor who is telnetting into my server and from what domain that are
coming from. Maybe by doing a "who" and checking either their IP
address or domain name. If it falls outside an acceptable range, as
determined by a flat file or something similiar, then I could either be
notified immediately by a write to my terminal. This can either be a
cron job that runs every 5 minutes or so or a daemon that runs in the
background.
Also, perhaps this script could be modified to also monitor ftp
processes. If anyone knows of a script that might do this or something
similiar that I could then modify, I would be much appreciative.
Thanks.

You'll never find consensus on this: everyone has a different favorite
distro and we all push the one we know the best.
Having said that, take a close look at Mandrake (www.linuxmandrake.com)
-- a kind of superset of Red Hat. You can try it out for $1.99 from
Cheapbytes (www.cheapbytes.com).
If you have the disk space and the time, get one of each of the major
releases and try them all out.
In the end, what you get is Linux :-)

Don't set the clock to GMT if you are going to use NT. The clock must

route add -net 192.168.1.0 dev eth0
..and each (yes, I get it twice) of the "route add" lines
produces:
SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument
I've tried issuing the commands manually as well, and
get the same thing. However, the routing table
does appear to be being updated correctly. I can
ping loopback, and my computer works fine on my local
mini-LAN via eth0.
This happens if just the loopback is used, as well -- i.e.,
if I remove the last two lines. (Actually, this
started before I even added the eth0 device to my PC.)
I know this has been happening ever since I upgraded my
kernel to 2.2.6 -- I'm not sure if it happened before, but
I don't think it did...
It doesn't seem to be a serious error, but it worries me,
and I'd like to fix it.
If anyone could shed some light on this, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks...

Subject: NetWare Conflict
Date: 9 Jun 1999 10:55:06 -0500
Myself and a co-worker have recently been doing some Perl programming for
our company. We were given the (quite simple) task of renaming files from
upper case to lower case file names. Everything went fine and it runs
GREAT on our linux box....however, we put it on our NetWare network so that
it can be accessed by the other employees in the company the program will
only run once then get a permission denied error. Our NetWare server is an
NT machine and I was wondering if there could be a conflict with reading
the file from the NetWare server to modify files on a linux box. Our
program does create a temporary file in the same directory as our
program....but it seems to be removed correctly at the end of our program.
Then if we try running our program a second time we get a "permission
denied" error when we create our temporary file. If we reboot our Linux
box (not the server) we can run the program again....only once and then the
same thing happens. Is this a NetWare conflict?? We downloaded the
NetWare patch a few weeks ago for our Col. 2.2 and this is the first time
we are having any conflicts with NetWare. Could this also be some sort of
buffer problem with our filehandles?? Do we need to clear our buffer to
run this right?? I hope I gave you enough info (too much probably).
Thanks for any help.

Subject: (Slink) Magic cookies?!? What does this mean?
Date: 10 Jun 1999 00:42:21 GMT
I've noticed something strange ever since I installed Debian 2.1
on my new system.
If I'm su'd to root (using "su", not "su -"), then whenever I
run a console-mode application, I get:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
..although the program always runs successfully anyway.
It isn't always Xlib - for instance, sometimes when I quit
X I'll notice the same message with "AUDIT" in place of "Xlib"
in among the X server's stdout messages.
This doesn't happen when I use "su -", but I prefer to not
su that way under Debian.
I've been running Linux for two years now, and I never saw
this before...
It's annoying, especially since I tend to su to root and use
programs like vim a lot.
If anyone can please advise: what is it, and how do I get rid of it?
Thanks...

It should respond to xdmcp query as long as XDM is running (obviously) -
you can check with netstat -a which should show a UDP port *.xdmcp
(port 177) listening - and if /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xaccess (path may differ
for you) allows the host to connect. It might also help to run
"xdm -nodaemon -debug 9" and see if it is getting the request.
