I had a (brief) look at that yesterday, but I didn't think that it was
an offline reader. As I am not in the US with free internet access, I
need to read my news whilst not connected. It also seemed to
automatically subscribe me to every NG my ISP carries. I don't want to
have to unsubscribe to 40000 odd NG's.. Is there a way to prevent it
doing that, or did I just misinterpret what it was doing?

If you didn't get your answer yet, you might try it at

Subject: Changing 'issue' & 'issue.net' with Mandrake?
Date: Sat, 17 Jul 1999 06:51:31 -0400

I just installed the new Mandrake 6.0 distribution (which, by the way,
is very complete, and Is my new favorite over RedHat 6.0, Slackware 4.0,
SuSE 6.1, and OpenLinux 2.2).

I have basically been able to find my way configuring Mandrake, since it
is based on the familiar RedHat dist.  However, I cannot seem to make
the login screens change for good.  I have edited the files 'issue' and
'issue.net', and if I logout and back in (either with getty or telnet,
rlogin, etc) I can see the successful change.  However, as soon as I
reboot, the edited files get wiped out completely and replaced with the
originals.

I have dug through '/etc' with no luck finding any hidden '.issue' (like
in OpenLinux).  There must be a script somewhere though - and where are
the original files being stored?

Anyone who has delt with this and can help please e-mail

Subject: Re: Screen Resolution....
Date: Sat, 17 Jul 1999 11:35:54 GMT

For sure backup your XF86Config file.  I'm assuming that you have
several good modelines in there.  You can check to make sure by doing
startx -verbose &> startxlog.  Look at startxlog and see what modelines
did not get axed.  Those are the good ones.

Then you can go under the hood and edit XF86Config (after backing it up)
and go way down to the screen section and where you see the part that
lists the resolutions - like "1280x1024" "800x600" "600x480"  well,
switch them around so that the one you want is first on the list.  I
would also check the Virtual below that.  If you like virtual then you
might want to make it a bit bigger than your chosen.  Or comment it out
or whatever.

Then you go into X and see what you have.  At that point, or at the
beginning before you do any of this above, try Ctrl-Alt-+.  That should
toggle you through the resolutions you have.

Did you try dialing with minicom?  You have to setup minicom first to do
it with minicom -s.  That's the way I learned to start.  After running
minicom and when it says you are connected or spews out a bunch of
unintelligible stuff, do Ctrl A and then just plain Q.  This will ask if
you want to leave without resetting your modem.  Yes, you do.  Then you
do pppd and then try ping some address you know is good.  If that works,
then you can do killall pppd and work on automating.

Try Alt-Ctrl-+ and see if you have any other resolutions.  If you do,
then proceed to change the resolutions around in your screen section as
recommended.  If nothing changes when you do the magic command then you
have no other modelines working.

You can do startx -probeonly -verbose &> startxlog and then look at
startxlog after you logout of X.  Down at the bottom you will see where
the modelines are that it accepted and there will be reasons for why it
rejected the others.  I had to use the Video Timing HowTo to manually
change mine a bit.  That is fun!!

I sort of doubt you have other valid modelines if it is reverting to
that resolution.  That was the symptom on my machine too.

I'm assuming here that when you configured X you found your card and
Monitor listed.  Doing X configuring was a pain for me, but I sure
learned a lot.  Was your card listed?

Running adduser itself would be difficult, or at least a security risk 
since it would have to be SUID root.  Why not write a script that adds the
user to the password file and creates the account manually.  Here's an
a shell of a script that could be run from the console to do such a thing:

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Enter desired login name: ";
$login = <STDIN>;

# Code would go here to assign UID, GID, and GECOS info

print "Enter desired password: ";
$cleartext = <STDIN>;

# We now need to run crypt() manually to get the encrypted password.
$password = crypt($cleartext, "//");  # We use // as a default salt.
# man crypt(5) for more info

# Code would go here to create homedir and mail drop as necessary

# join all the stuff into an /etc/passwd entry 
$entry = join(":", $login, $passwd,$uid,$gid, $gecos,$homedir, $shell)


And append entry onto the end of /etc/passwd.

HTH,

Coy

I do see dos hidden file using the method you told me ,,but it seems to
be the problem of mounting type of the cdrom dirver,,I can't see dos
hidden file when mount the cdrom with "mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdd
/mnt/cdrom",,someone told me I can see those hidden file if mount cdrom
driver as SCSI type,,,Do you know how  to do this??

I think he meant that the said government was only a few months old, and
was a result of a rather non-evolutionary development in its own right.
And, unlike the red's enterprise to come, it did have some legality and
was not a result of a putsch.

Conquest, for one. I can actually find the page if you want. The german
general staff fed them money all the while in order to destabilize
Russia, which they were at war with. After all, how did Lenin get in
Russia in the first place?

Thanks for the hints, but still no joy.
1) The PowerStor L200 does not have a button to change the density
2) setdensity does not seems to change the density of the tape (or, at
least, mt status reports the same value before and after the setdensity
command)
3) mt status reports density code 0xf0 (unknown), and I am able to write
only 20 GB.
4) When I was able to write 35 GB the density code was 0x1a.

I will do more testing, but if you have any other ideas I would be happy

Hello,
I am doing kernel upgrade RH6.0 2.2.5-15 to 2.2.5-22
on Dell Latitude with Pentium II.

On www.redhat.com there is three groups of upgrade files for the 
kernel *i386, *i586, *i686. And *i386 there is like 10 files, and both
*i586 and *i686 each have two files.

As I understand I need *i586 or *i686 ??? But I am not sure which one
exactly I need? and one stupid question - should I use all *i386 and
then *i686(*i586), or only *i686(*i586)
I read the kernel upgrade manual but I still have these questions.
I did the compiling it is compiled without errors but I have a problem
with modules loading and reconfiguring LILO ( I have NT and Linux )

If someone did already this work could you give me simple explanation.

Thanks 
Dmitry

Haven't given this much thought but; couldn't you use a form where the
user fills in the information. Then a CGI parse the infomation and send
it to a "secure" script (or program) which then use 'adduser' to create
the user based on the information he/she entered. The script/program who
creates the user needs to be run as suid root, so careful programming
is needed.

Perhaps this is a bit overkill?

Hello:

I am running RedHat 5.2 and I want to set a limit on the amount of

Maybe you entered the wrong data...there are several different

Right, thats what it does.  You have to put the mode you want as the
first entry for that mode.  Also during runtime you can hit control
alt pluss.

take a look at the file 'config.log', it should have somewhat more detailed
