If his ISP is using PAP or CHAP, he's not going to be able to write a
script that will work. He needs to use the pap-secrets or chap-secrets
file.
ATT's service is an example of a service that requires CHAP. There is a
login prompt, but it doesn't work. The username for logging in is
different than the username you specify when you set up the account.

RedHat probably installed the C/C++ package by default. RedHat's
standard installations don't install the kernel source. It's there on
the CD. He just needs to install it.

I am doing some investigation into use of Microsoft COM on Linux. Can
anyone point me in the right direction?
COM has been ported by Software AG, the port is part of their EntireX suite.
My questions are:
* How well does it work?
* Are there any limitations. EG threading models, apartment and
multi-threaded?
* Information of known bugs.
* How widely is it being used?

That all depends on shich standard installation you selected during
install. If you don't select any develpment stuff you won't install
it either.
Redhat 6.0 has a new group called 'Kernel Development' which when
selected installs the development stuff plus the kernel sources.

The last point is probably the critical one; the answer is "hardly at
all," the reasoning being "because it is completely unsupportable."
- It does not appear that there is any legal way to deploy it for
commercial use, the "gratis" version only being usable for "toy" apps.
- If people started depending on the facility, it would be very much
in Microsoft's interests to "break" the Linux port so as to encourage
users to move to the "native" NT version that is "obviously" much more
suitable.
It seems far more appropriate to consider using CORBA, which is a not
dissimilar scheme that, unlike COM, is vendor-neutral.

Easiest way to find out this information is to do the following:
cd /etc
grep www.aaa.com * > CHANGES-NEEDED.TXT
grep www.aaa.com */* >> CHANGES-NEEDED.TXT
grep www.aaa.com */*/* >> CHANGES-NEEDED.TXT
grep www.aaa.com */*/*/* >> CHANGES-NEEDED.TXT
grep www.aaa.com */*/*/*/* >> CHANGES-NEEDED.TXT
grep www.aaa.com */*/*/*/*/* >> CHANGES-NEEDED.TXT
The error messages complaining that some things are directories won't
make it to the file, the grep results will.

Rather than get into this sort of thing, why not structure your pages
with PHP? If, say, you have header and footer files, then you'd just
include the following code in your HTML:
<? system("cat /home/user/htmltext/header"); ?>
This is your middle stuff. HTML, oh yeah.<P>
<? system("cat /home/user/htmltext/footer"); ?>
Then, if you need to change site-wide stuff (and lets face it, that
sort of thing normally *is* in your headers and footers area), you
just edit either of those files.
Advantage: Very easy to do, most ISPs have PHP enabled already on their
servers anyway.
Disadvantage: It's a little more intensive in the use of the server.
OTOH, if you need to be changing locations in the centre text, you could
always mess about with one of those PERL search scripts so that once it
matches the text you want, it replaces that text with what you want, in the
directories you configure it to search in. Shouldn't be *too* hard to
whip up.

Examine some PERL CGI-based guestbook scripts:

Then examine .htaccess directory security.

Hi Kaushik,
Well, What you have to do is recompile the kernel to turn off atapi
cdrom and turn on scsi emulation. I do believe there are a few more
settings in the scsi area that you also have to activate.
Go visit the howtos and readup on it and it should explain it all.

In my experience whenever I had a query or problem the Sun technical
support people (at least in the UK) did everything they coould to help
me. Only on one occasion did they make an almighty ****-up, however the
response to my complaints was out of this world - I had the engineer
on-site and problem fixed in <2 hrs and a letter of apology!!.
At the university where I worked at the time had a 8 working-hour call
out contract - in all the times (bar one!) the engineer was on site
usually same day and always within 6 working hours of the initial
telephone call. If parts were required they were always despatched by
courier and usually arrived long before the engineer and if not within
30 minutes of. Their support with respect to bugs and patches was
similar.
I will say though that they can only help you as much as you help them,
so before every call I made sure I had all the machine/software details
(serial number, O/S, patch list etc) and a detailed description of the
problem. When dealing with them on the phone it was always useful to
have the said machine in front of you. In the case of a machine crash I
always made sure that the machines would generate the crash dump
information and usually I'd pass this through the iscda script (free
from Sun) to convert this to human readable form and pass all this on
via e-mail to the Sun engineer dealing with the problem.
As I said, IMHO Sun were more or less flawless when dealing with
problems, a close second was Silicon Graphics. Apple on the other hand
were useless, for the PC lot Gateway were brilliant, the rest were
pathetic...as for micro$oft, I won;t even bother to discuss the quality
of their support...

The technology used for CD-RW is different than normal CD-R technology. So a
lot of music CD players do not recogonize the media type when you try to play
them. But the media will work in you computer's CD ROM drive. I found out

Fascinating; I've always thought it would be the other way around. There
are lots of different ways in which to be smart; there are very few ways to
be stupid. (Lots of ways to be kooky, but that's different.)
Note that intelligence and kookiness are not antonyms. Kooks can be fairly
smart; some are quite impressive. Kookiness is a measure of willingness to
accept data that reveals holes in your logic; high kookiness is low
willingness to accept change. (It is also, to some degree, a measure of how
much data you have to throw out to keep your results. Archimedes Pu has to
throw out a lot more data to keep his results than Einstein did. This is why
we consider only one of them a kook, even though both are/were clearly fairly
smart.)
Apart from that, your stubborn adherence to the belief that I'm an idiot
really qualifies, IMHO, as some degree of kookiness. You're throwing out
a *lot* of data there...

Get the new release of KDE. Its got a hotsync manager for Palm. Then set
/dev/pilot to point to /dev/cua0 or whatever serial port you are using.
Then in the KDE's palm gui, set the palm port to /dev/pilot and its speed
to the maximum you see in the pull down list. For some reason I felt the
KDE hotsync is slower than Windoze's hotsync. I guess its because windoze
does not backup everything (applications etc.) while the KDE-hotsync
manager does. hope this helps.

do you know if your sound is cfg'd properly? check with " cat /dev/sndstat
" and make sure that some driver has been cfg'd for audio and midi. If that
doesn't fix it, check your cdplayer software and see what the output audio
device is and what drive it is trying to read the music from.

Yea, but I'd love to try ;-), unlike NT.
NT has special hacks for Web servers, like acceptex which does accept-read
with 1 api. I'm sure with some hack code, linux could do the same and
get better numbers.
