So window maker is stable ? I for one am migrating (slowly !)

show my wife how great an alternative to Windows can be, it crashed !

Hi!
There is an application which use gdbm.I studied the program
a little and found when search a key,it compute its hash value
and compare with hash values in gdbm to find the right key. And
it use read/write locking/unlocking ....
Now I need to replace gdbm by Informix Online 7.2.
Who can tell me what's the difference between gdbm and
informix??? Does Informix can complete r/w locking&unlocking itself?
I know informix using SQL to search or modify,can Informix
search using hash?
Any hints/opinions will be gratefully appreciated!

Of course there would be no problem, because when you have seperate
partitions, your system treats it as a compeletely different drive. And FAT
32 is inefficient as well...doesn't even come close to ext2.

You're right! I printf the result of a sizeof(unsigned int) and it was 4.
Thus, I have 2^32 (=4294967296) possible uid's.

Hi!
They had to change services like FTP and email (POP & SMTP) to

In one of the messages I received was written that unsigned int data is
32 bits, increasing a lot the possible uid's!

I use tape (DAT, DDS-2, 2 gigs per 4mm tape). I got a pretty good deal
on an HP surestore DAT drive last year, and although those are still
more expensive than other tape solutions (like Travan) the tapes
themselves are a lot cheaper than tapes for most other tape drives
are ($5-6 each, as compared to as high as $50 for some tapes I've
seen). So that is also something to consider.
>If my needs exceed several CD's per backup run, I can upgrade to a 24MB
>DDS-3 drive.
At present, I only have enough disk space to fill up one 2gig cartridge
if I do a full backup, so it works out fine. If I needed more, I suppose
I could swap tapes, and I've got enough tapes presently to handle 20
gigs worth of data. But I don't think I'd want to use CD-RW either
way. Even though the media cost is attractive (.99 per CD) you can
only write once to it, and if you have a lot of data to back up, then
you just spent a lot of money on blank CDs that have realistically
little value. And, if you want to rewrite on CD's, the cost skyrockets
to approximately $20 per CD, which really isn't justifiable IMHO
concerning the amount of data that can be put on there.

The little tweaks that Mandrake adds are very nice. Things like better setup of

Most countries don't have the guts to stand up to the US. Besides there is a
strong movement to force atleast a minimum wage on foreign workers paid by
american companies. $5 over here, $5 over there. The reform party is the
only party which has made that a part of its platform so far. "Exploiter" is
a relative term anyway. Socialists and communists use words like that to
describe the upper and middle classes of capitalist countries like the US.
So let's be socialist or communist, we will all be equal in our poverty!

roach to human ratio is close to this figure as well.

Subject: Apache .htaccess problem (dbmmanage not working)
Date: Sun, 20 Jun 1999 06:14:19 GMT
I am running RedHat 5.2 and Apache 1.3.6 (compiled from source). I am
trying to setup DBM Authentication using the 'dbmmanage' program but it
doesn't seem to work. Using the 'htpasswd' program everything works
great.
Basically, I can create my password database fine using dbmmanage (I
used /usr/local/apache/htdocs/.htpasswd). And I then create the
.htaccess file in the directory I want to restrict. And yes I'm aware of
"AuthUserFile" vs. "AuthDBMUserFile".
Then when I try to access the page it correctly asks for my password.
The problem is that I keep getting denied even though I HAVE entered the
correct password! The apache error_log shows: (I removed my ipadr)
[Sat Jun 19 09:04:57 1999] [error] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] (2)No such file
or directory: could not open dbm auth file:
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/.htpasswd
[Sat Jun 19 09:04:57 1999] [error] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] DBM user brad
not found: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/myfiles
The 'user brad not found' is bullshit because I can do 'dbmmanage
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/.htpasswd view' and it lists all of my accounts
including 'brad'.
For some reason apache is having problems opening the .htpasswd file
when it's created using 'dbmmanage'. If I create it using 'htpasswd' and
change .htacess to use "AuthUserFile" then everything works great. Why
doesn't it work using "AuthDBMUserFile" and 'dbmmanage'??? Apache is
configured properly to load dbm_auth and db_auth (and a few others).
The only thing I can think of is the 'dbmmanage' program is not the
correct version for RedHat 5.2. Is there such a thing as a 5.2 vs 6.0
version of this script?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Linux is once again testing my
patience. And it's wearing damn thin!!!!! ;-)
Brad.
