Given that SheepShaver started out on the BeBox, I find that hard to
believe. All you need is a MacOS ROM image, and given that iMac and
later systems have the ROM sitting as a file in the System Folder, it
shouldn't be especially hard for you to acquire one.

I would like to run several "insmod" commands at boot up.

add theses commands to the /etc/rc.local file. However
my SuSE 6.1 does not have a /etc/rc.local file. How can I add
one or is there a different file to look at with SuSE ?

Have a look for /etc/rc.d/rc.local - that's probably what you're after.
If it's not there, try creating (in the usual way, but as root) an
innocuous script such as:
#!/bin/sh
echo rc.local called > /etc/rc.local.working
Then make it executable (chmod a+x /etc/rc.d/rc.local) and reboot.
Finally, have a look and see if /etc/rc.local.working is present and
contains the text "rc.local called". If it's there, then your script is
working.

Is it possible to disable PAM for login? (It's for a rescue disk which
doesn't need massive security.)
My Linux manual says "you probably already have PAM installed", which
suggests that it's optional rather than vital. I've looked at the PAM
sysadmin manual, but I can't see where PAM-usage gets switched on.

Hmm. Not really what I want no, but the idea is good for further studying :-)
The best solution I've seen so far has been to set up a macro in VIM (or some
other editor) that automatically set the permission on a file upon save. But I
would also like the permissions to change when you copy/move a file to that
directory. Why? Just a fun thing.. :-)
Btw, the VIM macro to change permissions on save (thanks Fredrik):
:autocmd BufWritePost,FileWritePost *.pl !chmod 700 <afile>

In order to troubleshoot MS Word problems properly, YES, I'd say you
need to know those sorts of things.
The fact that MSFT embeds pieces so as to hide them from view makes
troubleshooting a whole lot harder. If their software were more robust
than "industry averages," this might be less of a problem. But they're
not generally considered purveyors of "the *most* reliable software,"
so this makes life more difficult still.

Who knows. Your problem description isn't specific
enough. What's about your sound card? Do you use
sound modules or OSS? Are you able to play normal
audio files? In SuSE 6.1 sound modules are turned
off by default to allow OSS to function without

Try adding another 'l' to the end of your device name... /dev/null

Make sure that libXt.so.6 is in /usr/X11/lib and is a link
to a real library. Run ldconfig -v as root in that xterm
to be sure it is maping libXt.so.6....if not edit /etc/ld.so.conf

Hi!
In pl.comp.os.linux recently we have got discussion about meaning of
the word hacker. There were two different opinions:
a) hacker is a person who break security (cracker)
(,,Well, historically hacker was someone who were really good in
programming etc but its history now'')
b) hacker is ... <ESR definition in jargon> but ,,there is no way to
stop thinking that hacker == cracker, so find yourself better thing to worry
about. ''
Well, i am interested if ,,hacker'' still has the old meaning in
english-speaking countries. And what do you think about the second opinion, i
mean is it really not important what this word means to common peoples?
And, what is more important, can linuxer call a cracker ,,hacker'' ??

Subject: Beating MS and a manifestation of tradition.
Date: 30 Jun 99 09:54:50 -0500
I'm posting this to both the Amiga and Linux misc newsgroups because these
two platforms do have something in common. Both have key MS investors
looking in on them. Amiga thru Ted Waitt and Linux thru Linus T.
Don't be mistaken by friendly smiles and handshakes. These are trademarks
of MS, like right before a squidy strikes.
Will one die (or has it already?) Certainly Linux is more popular than
Amiga and a noteable threat to MS. How many arms and suckers does a squidy
have? Maybe there is room for improvement, insurance against the
controlling matrix of Gates. The following can be applied to Linux,
perhaps better (under the current conditions) than the Amiga. Either way,
those who do that which moves value forward in advancement should have the
option to receive a return.
---
Is Jim Collas a manifestation of good ideas distorted through the closed
system mentality of tradition?
I'm out in the open, communicating what I do through a media of which I
have no way of knowing who all is listening. But I do know that some do
find value in what I communicate and that they pick up pieces of the big
picture I've been presenting. What they do with these pieces is to take
and apply effort to distort, so to make fit an old mold of tradition, and
then present it as coming from themselves.
The evolutions and accumulations of these acts and efforts over time have
appeared in many forms, only to become weakened in time because an
unintegrated distortion of parts is inherently going to be weaker than the
integrated honest original whole.
But now it seems this effort and intent has manifested itself again. All
with the same exact intent, that of staying with traditional business
models and methods.
I have no doubt Jim Collas is a real person. I have no doubt that he has
genuine unique talents (as all of us do). I have no doubt that he has
established himself in the computer industry of tradtional business models
and methodologies. Much considered, I have no doubt that Jim is an Ideal
person for such a manifestation to be presented through. Certainly he is
openly Obtaining Input from many and continues to do so. But from where or
through who all is he getting input from? Just how much of this input Jim
has been getting is residue of earlier manifestations and further back to
distorted traditionalized fragments of the big picture I have been
presenting?
People are afraid of change, I can understand this. But things change, and
things need to change because of it. Otherwise the only thing that will
remain the same is failure for the Amiga. Maybe Bill Gates wants this to
be the case?
What is the Big Picture so many beat on me to avoid, deny, hide?
There are three issues to deal with in needed change:
People, Software and Hardware.
People:
Human Resources! It's people that do things to move technology, products
and services forward. And we do this through sales, support, training,
development, improvement feedback, etc..
Today, for whatever combination of reasons, certainly including the Y2K
human resource drain, their is a shortage of "experts" to do these things.
Or is this just due effort and intent to adhear to tradition? I think the
shortage is false, that it's effort to stay with dying tradition.
I say involve the consumer/user in this process, but make it professional.
Pay these people who do and have been doing for free, due lack of an
honest and fair choice otherwise, the things to move the product and
service forward.
Change the business model. The Traditional Business has proven itself,
more than three times, to fail the Amiga by the hands of a few, sometimes
even one person failing the Amiga for everyone. Change the Business model
in such a manner to eliminate, to obviate this possibility. Don't you
think we have had enough of this problem?
The following small little piece of information is from a company not in
the computer business, but of a different business model that includes
genuine honest and fair (and always working to improving this fairness)
income opportunity for the customer.

"Melaleuca is one of an elite few companies ever to appear five times in
Inc. magazine's yearly indexing of America's 500 fastest-growing,

a notable achievement for any company; appearing five consecutive years is
a reflection of the superb performance of this unique company. In fact,
Melaleuca appeared on the Inc. 500 more than international corporate giant

times. Additionally, Melaleuca is one of very few companies to maintain an
"A" profit rating for each of those five years."

This is certainly a solution direction to move towards. But this company
is not dealing with the unique products of the computer industry. However,
the president left a good position in the computer industry to do this.
With the unique products and services of computers there is the
opportunity to here to custom fit a consumer inclusive business model. One
that goes beyond the product and service line of a company like Melaleuca,
to include the consumer far more directly in product evolution, training
and multi field specific professional development and use. This product,
this tool of computers is very verstile.
Software:
What is software but information that either acts or is acted upon.
Computer are capable of automating what we repetitively do and to do
some things much faster than we can do ourselves, like math calculations.
With the right tool, the consumer, the end user can participate a great
deal more in filling in the human resource shortage of software
development, as an option to them. But there is alot more to computers
than just software development. There is information the user makes use
of. With the right tool the user can better access and automate accessing
and processing of such information and to do so from perspectives of their
specific industry, field, company and personal point of view. A task
certainly beyond the human resources of traditional models and methods.
Of course the reference link here is:
http://www.mindspring.com/~timrue/KNMVIC.html and any related links from
the above mentioned link.
So this tool works integrated into the People busines issue quite well.
Hardware:
Lets' play this smart, not fancy dancy fad of today, outdated tomorror.
What we know is that we don't know what tomorror holds in the way of
hardware advancement. We can get some insight from knowing and allowing
software direction to help us determine what we need in hardware, but
still what we are certain of is that we don't know but want compatability
of whatever tomorror hold with what we have invested in today.
So how do we achieve a compatability base to work from?
Recursion? The software direction above fits well with the people
direction. Perhaps the hardware direction should fit well with the
software direction, inherently fitting well with the people direction?
Hmmm, so where does the software direction above lead hardware too?

and a bit of:
http://www.mindspring.com/~timrue/---Enclosures.html
For a general overview at least (there has been more I've communicated
about hardware in Usenet.)
Certainly another things we do know about hardware, is that it is getting
smaller and smaller.

In all of the Above, it's people that come first!
But in the Amiga community, this particular person, myself, is treated
quite badly for having presented and fought for the above.
I guess it's mainly because the above goes beyond kicking the *&$@@(*%
shit out of the traditional business model and methodology of the computer
industry. That is the model and methodology well taught by and for the
sole apex benefit of Bill Gates, who many believe must be right since he
makes more money in his small piece of the industry than anyone else in
the industry, no matter how big a piece they may hold.
Perhaps the change people are really afraid of is that Bill Gates can
actually lose his win/lose game plan. Simply because people, if given the
genuine honest and fair income opportunity option, will stop playing Bills
Game in exchange for an impossible to lose business plan. Impossible to
lose because everyone wins.
And who is there in opposition to this, if not just those having some
addiction to the illusion of having power over others? An addiction
manifested again as......?
Could anyone have known this would happen?
I'm out in the open, for good reason. So is Linux?
No-one has done this before. That's why it's going to work.

Hi,
After a long time of no activity, Redhat 5.2 gives the following error
message repeatedly: "Directory sread (sector 0x20) failed". Does anyone
know the origin of this message or what it means? This only happens
after a couple hours of idle-time and only periodically. Thanx in
advance.
