Sending SIGHUP (kill -1) to inetd tells inetd to re-read
its configuration file and reconfigure itself, opening
any new services. (See man inetd for more info on this.)
"Refused" generally means an active refusal - i.e., something
is listening on port 901 but won't talk to you. I'm not sure what
would cause this. But, you should check "netstat -an" to see if there
is a Listening socket at 0.0.0.0:901. Also check your system log for
an error from inetd - something may be wrong in your inetd.conf or
services file.

Explain the 1500 Canadian Commando casualties and Dieppe in 1943 then. They had a
much larger presence than you indicate here.

I can't find that file in RH 6.0. I guess I'll just throw in the towell and
let Bill Gate's know he won. This is getting ridiculous every time I
correct one problem, it's off to a new one. At least windows works. I'm
sorry I have to say it, but, at least I can dial out with it. Thanks for
everyone helping. I may just re-install 6.0 from scratch an see what
happens. Hey, maybe linux isn't different from windows after all, just
re-install every time you have a problem.

That's because the Initio driver is included standard in the 2.2.x kernel

Logging on as root do do stuff like post news messages and read mail is
potentially dangerous, for several reasons. You'd do well to create a
normal user account and use it for such activities.

I have a strange problem and I'm not exactly sure where to start. I
just recently down loaded the latest Slackware off Sunsite and when
trying to get my old data from a previous install archive to tape I
discovered that several "dev"'s will not work.
For instance invoking commands such as "ftape" or "fd0" I get a no such
device message. However when viewing the directory with MC the devices
and or links are there and they have been made.

I've tried to compile bind-8 on PPC linux using glibc-2.1.1, egcs-19990629,
and binutils-2.9.4.0.7. The compile stops with some undefined symbols
like __memputs, __memgets etc. I ran nm in my libs directory and
found no library with those symbols. Anybody know what's going on?

Check out a product called TogetherJ. I think it does most of what you want.
There is a native Windows version, as well as a 100% java version that will
run on any platform. It generates and reengineers C++ and Java.
This is a commercial product, but there is a free version available that has
fewer
features than the full-blown commercial version.
Their website is : <http://www.togetherj.com>

Well the 'rw' = read & write take off the w and you should not be able to

Looks like you have your C compiler setup correctly, but you don't have a
working C++ compiler.
Try creating this file (hello.cpp):
// hello.cpp
#include <iostream.h>
int main(void)
{
cout << "Hello World!\n";
return 0;
}
If you can't compile that with:
g++ -o hello hello.cpp
then you don't have a working C++ compiler. Install the appropriate
packages...
HTH,
Fred

Please re-read what I wrote. Last time I checked, 1943 was after 1941,
and certainly after 1939.

So, I've convinced myself that things are slower with RH6 or Slackware4 than
they
were with Slackware3.6, and I want to be bullheaded and tell the kernel what
to do.
Q1: is it possible that it's doing things wrong? IMHO, its stupid to start
using swap
(which it does when I start an intensive process) rather than shrinking the
buffers.
Q2: man proc, sysctl, etc are not very transparent to me - hints on what to
change
to give more to user processes and less to caches would be appreciated.
Thanks!

So what? Please read what I wrote. I said that on Dec 11, 1941, the
United States declared war on Germany and Italy. I also wrote that in
the week surrounding that, various other countries also declared war on
Japan, Germany, and Italy.
Unless you're saying this is not true, your post is completely
orthogonal to mine; you seem to be saying I'm wrong about something I
didn't say in the first place (maybe you think I said the U.S. declared
against Germany/Italy first? But I didn't say that at all).

As did the Germans benefit from Ukrainian and Georgian resentment, until they
began treating the Ukrainians and Georgians et al as badly as the Soviets
had done (There was an active anti-soviet ukrainian resistance movement as
late as 1949.)
