No.
But if someone asks for a linkable copy of your executable, you must
provide it.
Build both a dynamic and a static version of the application, ship
the static version, and send copies of the dynamic version to anyone
who asks for it (with "WE WON'T SUPPORT THIS VERSION" stamped on it
in big red letters.)

A linkable copy isn't that the .o and the .a file you have before the

What are the security implications of running VMWARE? (Since it runs a
normal version of whatever OS, which necessarily contains drivers and
other
privileged-mode code, I suspect the installation must open *some* hole
in the Linux kernel. I rather shudder at the idea of a security hole
with Microsnort stuff on the other side...) The FAQ on the vmware site
says nothing about security.
If no part of VMWARE runs in kernel mode, than it must implement some
emulation,
which is going to be slowwww... How *exactly* does it work?

Hi,
Please help 'cause it's killing me. I have a Debian/GNU Linux 1.3 box and a2ps gives

When run as root they mess up my X and I have to quit it with Ctr+Alt+Backspace. When
giving any of the commands a2ps, ps2pdf, pdf2ps in text mode as root I get the message
"Using VGA driver" and nothing else. They create no output. What can I do? How are

Joe User, right now, is being plagued with viruses and such other
things that only attack passively (via email, mostly, or perhaps
IE-based attacks). Sure there are active attacks, but the average
Window 9x machine doesn't actually have too many open ports of any
kind, right?
Once MS starts integrating a simple web server - and especially if
it makes it "default ON" - you will see a whole new class of
attacks on these poor PsOB. There's a brand new port for the
hacking. The "hax0rs" will have a field day. And will continue
to - until MS wises up and either removes it or makes it "default
OFF". (I cannot conceive of the possibility that they can
actually make it secure :-)
At which point they're back to square one. The force of numbers
works for them only if it's "the default", like IE is.

Hi Kelvin,
it seems to me that out setup process is not very clear at this point=20=
so let me explain what it does.
1. By installing the rpm package in RedHat 6.0
a library conflict is found that should be
ignored by you. After hitting the ENTER key
a '-net' installation of StarOffice 5.1 is
put into /opt/Office51.
( After this you might stop working as superuser=20
and switch to your normal login as 'kelvin'... )
2. When now doing the cd /opt/Office51/bin
./soffice
the script detects that no USER installation
has been made up to now and automatically
calls the ./setup -workstation
command to let you configure StarOffice
for actual use.
3. This setup program also will look for the
libraries (calling 'ldd') and complain that
they are missing.
-> This messages should be ignored!
4. After completing the user installation you
will find your working set of StarOffice in
the given directory (normally ~/Office51 )
5. By going there ( ~/Office51/bin ) it should
be possible to start StarOffice with ./soffice
and from now on no more complains concerning
library conflicts should come up.
I have tried this by instaling StarOffice 5.1 at a RedHat 6.0 machine=20=
and all of the StarOffice-Modules work fine now. I case you _still_=20=
run into problems concerning missing libraries under RedHat 6.0 please=20=
ask again here (but do *not* send mails to me). :-)

For mail sendmail and your choice of POP and IMAP servers will work
with outlook, netscape, IE, eudora, pegasus (and most of the
competition). The products I mentioned should cover 99% of all users
already. IF sendmail is not flexible enough that nothing that currently
exists is--I even modified ruleset 0 to "fix" a failure of NTmail to
comply with the internet host requirements w.r.t bounces.
For a calendar I hear netscape has one which works on a wide variety of
platforms, including Solaris. Chance of a linux version of at least the
server side are 99.9%---netscape decide linux was a force they would
support, for mercanary financial reasons, in the server market. Naturally
you can access it from a PC running M$ stuff. (I think it is commercial).
[Of course if you really need in netscape's calenda should run nicely
on an ultra-sparc based SUN enterprise 2000 SMP box... these cost $$$$$
and have lots of CPUs, memory, fast RAID 5 disc space, etc.]

Don't worry. Here a couple of links to the suse support database:
Configuring soundcards with Kernel 2.2 (sound modules):
http://www.suse.de/sdb/en/html/maddin_sound61.html
What is OSS:
http://www.suse.de/sdb/en/html/oss.html
How to install OSS:
http://www.suse.de/sdb/en/html/rb_oss.html
It depends on your sound card, whether you can use sound
modules or have to install oss. Ensoniq's AudioPCI
based on ES1370 and AudioPCI97 based on ES1371 are supported
by ordinary sound modules (es1370.o and es1371.o). Since you
have SuSE 6.1 both modules are located in /lib/modules/2.2.5/misc/.
In case you don't know which of the both card you have, scan
the pci bus for devices. Run 'lspci -n' as root and look for
the PCI ID (1274:5000 is ES1370 and 1274:1371 is ES1371).
You have only to configure /etc/conf.modules as discribed in
the first link. If you have another card, you have
to install oss as discribed in the third link.
Hope this helps

Is it the same drive on a dual boot machine or 2 different drives on 2 different

If on 2 different machines is there any possibility that the problem is the drive

If you use Sendmail as your mail daemon, see the big pack of
macros that are given with the source code. One of them
(can't remember the name sorry) do exactly what you want,
whatever MUA you use (mail,mailx,mutt...)
/usr/doc/sendmail* or sthg like that...
I can imagine that it is the same for Qmail...

Yup, you can do this globally with sendmail by appropiate hacks to
sendmail.cf. You probably need an expert or the bat book
[aka. "Sendmail", Eric Alman and someone else, ORA]. Most gurus asked
to do this will consult their copy of the bat book and hack a little.
Be aware the bat book also allows you to rewrite the envelope (alias
from no colon) seperately and differently if you feel the need.
Be aware this email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] but the from line
claims the mail comes from [EMAIL PROTECTED] (the box I am
using is called feynman and lives in the ecs.soton.ac.uk domain).

Ahhh yes. I heard about that in a documentary about Alan Turing and the code
breakers at Bletchley Park...
apparently, they decoded a message saying that U-boats were on course for
the eastern seaboard and reported this info. This info then got passed on to
american "intelligence", where the admaral of the fleet, who hated the
British, just ignored it and allows 100 allied ships to be sunk...
Yup... That war against the u-boats was a GREAT success...

I get a similar problem with 2.2.7 , only it does establish a connection
but then for some reason the modem drops the line. The exact same script
and pppd however work fine with 2.0.36 (and worked fine with my old 1.2.13
system). Beats me whats wrong, all I can assume is that someone has broken
the kernel ppp code somewhere or at least changed it to the extent that
old ppp code programs can no longer function properly with it.
