I'm co-locating too (Stampede not RH though), and I'm using another HD. You
can get say a 10 gig IDE hd for say $300, and have a cron job tar everything
to it every night or so. Faster then tape, and a lot cheaper. If you got a 4
Gig external HP Surestor DAT drive, it would cost about $1200, then you need
tapes.

Subject: lpd setup problem
Date: Wed, 23 Jun 1999 11:45:31 -0500
I've got an lpd problem. I've got the lp kernel module installed and
can successfully cat a text file to /dev/lp0. I've set up the printcap
file several different times, this last time using the apsfilter
utility.
When I run lpr <filename> the print queue shows a new print job, then
eventually it indicates "no entries" as if the job were printed, except
nothing gets printed. And the printer itself indicates nothing is
trying to print. When I remove the "if=" line from the printcap file, I
can successfully print via lpr. Even if the "if" filter is the simple
perl script found in the Printer Howto to eliminate the staircase
effect, the printer never prints. Once again, if I remove the "if="
line from the printcap, it will print the file, though with the
staircase. I *can* cat the file to /dev/lp0, piping it first through
the perl script filter, and it prints successfully and correctly.
The whole problem seems to have something to do with the filter files.
Does anyone know what the problem may be?
Thanks.

One solution is not to use modules for this. I don't and the printer and

Hello, all;
Microsoft has a video format that appears to create videos with greater
compression than MPEG's, called ASF. Currently, the only player I've
seen for these files is Microsoft Media Player. {groan}
Does a player exist for OS/2 or Linux?
Any info much appreciated.

The file /sbin/tcpd has gone missing from my Mandrake 6.0 system. Don't
know whether I accidentally deleted it, or whether it disappeared in a
cloud of filesystem corruption recently repaired by fsck. (I discovered
the problem when ftp and telnet mysteriously stopped working.)
How can I extract this file from the distribution CD? Or alternatively
is there a place I can download it from?

Going with a matrox card is always a safe bet if you're looking
for quality in 2D. I had a matrox millenium II for the longest time
(was a 4mb card), and was delighted with the visual clarity.
When I bought it (1.5 years ago) it was going for $75. I'm sure
it's much, much cheaper now. It does 1280x1024x32bpp, but because it's
a 4mb card it wasn't fast :) IIRC you can get 8mb Mil II's these days.
Newer matrox cards are better (ie, G200 and G400), and are
supported in 2d just as well. However, these are more expensive, and
intended for AGP systems, but I would imagine you could at least find a
G200 PCI out there somewhere.
The best way to insure visual quality is to check two things:
The speed of the RAMDAC, and teh amount of video memory on the card.
Going with a well-known chip maker that fits these criteria best is the
best way to get the most for your money.

In 3.5 years of using linux I have seen it lock twice, and both
were because of poorly written drivers (in the last case Nvidia's glx
and q3test).
If linux locks, you will know, and you won't be able to do
anything. No mouse movement will be possible, you will not be able to
do ANYTHING.
If it's doing it repeatedly and you can't pinpoint the source,
these are the steps I would take:
1) Check *ALL* hardware configurations, and make sure that if
you have a PS/2 mouse under X, that GPM is not running or gpm is setup
properly to run under X. I've found this is the #1 problem for people
"thinking" X has locked up. (and in turn, they think linux has locked
as well)
2) Recompile your kernel. Perhaps something went awry when
you last did it.
3) If it's happening in X, upgrade your Xserver and X
libraries.
4) If it's STILL happening, upgrade your default libc (most
likely libc6 unless you're running slackware)
5) And if none of this fixes it, start exchanging hardware,
starting with your RAM. Bad ram is the quickest way to system
instability, and often times your BIOS will not be able to detect it (I
ran a 128M stick of PC100 SDRAM that was bad for 4 months, and had a
system that constantly locked up, but because the RAM was certified it
was the last place I looked)
Hope this helps....

They are numbers because your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files don't have a user/group

I'd guess that your system has been compromised. Someone has executed a chown on /root
which normally shouldn't work unless they are root (since you cant chown something
you don't own, and /root is usually owned by root.root).

I don't know why your tape won't work, but the paralell port device on
takes as much CPU usage as it can. I imagine, that the module was
polling the tape repeatedly which was using your CPU.
Just as a rule of thumb, PPA devices are not worth the processor they
need. Go SCSI :)

There's a strong possibility there's an unprintable character at the
start of the file name - try 'ls -l' preceeding the filename with '*' or
'?'.
'ls -lb' on the directory will show unprintable characters in the
filenames in octal, substitue a '?' for each unprintable and that should
allow you to access the file ok.

Are you sure Linux has actually frozen? Can you use Alt+F1 through Alt+F6
to switch to another virtual console? Have you accidentally pressed Ctrl+S
in console mode and not pressed Ctrl+Q to resume flow? If X isn't
responding, have you tried using Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to kill the X server?
Although I'm sure Linux can freeze up, I've never seen it happen other than
at boot time (and even then only when booting an experimental kernel), but
I have seen a lot of situations where it looks like the system is locked up
but where it is actually running quite comfortably.

It sounds like your modem is reporting the locked port speed,
and not the actual speed it's connected at. kppp is setting the locked
port speed, which you definately want at 115k or higher for a 33.6k.
Check your modem manual for the proper S switch to get it to
report the connection speed. There should also be a switch to limit the
baud rate (connection speed), but you don't want to set that.
