The dictatorship of the proletariat is no better than any other
dictatorship...or, as Robert Heinlein put it, in his classic _The Moon Is a
Harsh Mistress_, "I am a royalist because I'm a democrat. Only a king can
protect the people from tyranny, including the worst of tyrants -
themselves."
I'm not a royalist, but I can easily see the road to ruin of which Heinlein
spoke. The people, left unchecked, will vote to take and take others' money
and give it to themselves until there is no reason for anyone to do
anything but take, at which point the whole economy collapses.

So you compiled the driver into the kernel. Did you actually see it as a
module when you booted the new kernel?
It could be that everything is the way you want it, just some script is
trying to find the module, without knowing that the driver was compiled
into the kernel. This happens for instance with the serial driver. I had
the serial driver compiled into the kernel, but the system was trying to
load the module, and it complained that it couldn't find char-major-5. Of
course, all was well, but it did happen. I just put
alias char-major5 off
in /etc/conf.modules. Right now, I recompiled the kernel with serial as a
module.
But it is possible that the system will still look for a module, although
it has the driver into the kernel, just because some obscure,
distribution-specific script tells it to.

I've checked a few more machines and found that RH 5.X and after
does not prompt for a password when one enters single user mode,
at least by default. But somewhere in `Linux, The Complete
Reference' I found a remark that every system should be suitably
configured so that a password is required. Looking at what
happens when one boots into single user state, it seems clear
that one can modify the boot scripts so that such a password
is required, but I haven't figured out exatly how to do it.
If anyone knows, it would be useful.
However, this leads to the more general question of how to
ensure security. For machines which can be locked away, the
point may be moot. Of course, if someone breaks into your
office and gets physcial possession of your machine for long
enough, that person can get anything desired off the hard
disk. So unless all data is encrypted---which may be justified
for sufficiently sensitive material---one would be vulnerable.
For most of us, this would seem an unlikely scenario.
On the other hand, if there are computers for general use
in a common area, the problem could be significant. It seems
the simplest solution for a PC is to use a BIOS password.

First, I wanna make this 'fat chap' thread into a separate one, so as to
liven up this boring newsgroup even further.
Second, I'm not sure about a dictatorship (isn't that the 'workers' who
were supposed to impose a dictatorship, btw?) but I sure don't want no
hillbilly-ass workers ruling the place. Why would you want that? Them
are rude, uneducated people, they will swear and spit in public. They
smell bad. No wonder they never got to rule... in fact, they can't. What
they can do is to bring a bunch of nookie-problem-sublimatin
"intellectuals" to the power, which the intellos will in time use to f
the 'workers' in the ass. So, the way it comes out, if you're a worker,
you're damned no matter what. Therefore, workers would do well by making
no waves and concentrating on maximizing their wages. And unto the kids
I say: please stay in school (or befriend a drug dealer--they have good
life--fun, money, women.)

I have never added a windows printer to /etc/printcap so I can't
help you there. But if you only want to print the occasional file
you can use smbclient to do it:
smbclient //somemachine/printer -P
connects to somemachine's printer share as a printer (-P option);
you can then just 'put' the file you want printed and it will do
it. The file will be sent raw to the printer, so you may need to
use ghostscript or something to ensure the windows printer can
handle your file.
I suspect you could setup remote printing in /etc/printcap by
setting the device to /dev/null and creating an input filter
that redirects the file through smbclient. But I've never been
bothered enough by the method above to actually look into it.
HTH,

Well, I'm with a 2.2.7 kernel and I've included the es1370 module (my
PCI64 has the 1370 chip) ... but it doesn't play anything.
How should I make it work? I know how to proceed with ISA cards, but I'm
pretty lost with PCI cards. I've read that they get autoconfigured (PCI
P'n'P) but no way!!
Any idea? Any hint?
Also, Lev, where can I find a decent explanation on how to makw it work
the ALSA drivers? I've been to their web but I get a little lost. Maybe
my english's not enough good? (I'm from Barcelona) What ALSA driver
version are you using? Is it compatible with kernels 2.2.X or only 2.3.X
?
I'll appreciate any help.

Subject: Release GNU indent 2.1.1
Date: Mon, 19 Jul 1999 14:50:20 +0200 (CEST)
Description
===========
GNU indent changes the appearance of a C program by inserting or
deleting whitespace according to a plethora of options. Some
canned styles of formatting are supported as well. GNU indent is
a descendant of BSD indent. This file is part of the GNU indent
distribution.
[ Note: GNU indent does not work 100% correctly for C++. ]
Indent source code can be downloaded at the ftp site
ftp.gnu.org/gnu/indent/ and mirrors of that site (see below).
Online documentation
====================
http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/indent/
Release note
============
The last official GNU release by the previous maintainer
(Joseph Arceneaux) was 1.9.1 about 5 years ago.
Version 2.0 was released November 1998, but never put on
the GNU ftp sites.
I released a new version, 1.10.0 in May 1999.
This version, 2.1,0 contains *ALL* changes from both
versions (2.0 and 1.10.0) plus a few new commandline
options and hopefully an even more intelligent way
of breaking long lines.
NEWS
====
Changes from 2.1.0 --> 2.1.1
============================
* Fixed compile problem on HPUX
* Fixed compile problem on Mac
* Added @dircategory and @direntry to indent.texinfo
Release notes for GNU indent version 2.1, June 1999
===================================================
* Merged in the changes made by Joseph Arceneaux from 1.9.1 -> 2.0.
Thus: 1.10.0 == 1.9.1 + Carlo's patches
2.0 == 1.9.1 + Joseph's patches
2.1.0 == 1.9.1 + Joseph's patches + Carlo's patches.
Below you can find the release notes of 2.0, which thus also apply
to 2.1: The maintenance is now officially transfered to Carlo Wood.
* GNU indent is now a lot more precise in honouring the --line-lengthN
option: It now joins lines when they fit on one line, and it won't
produce lines that are longer then the specified line length anymore
(except when no reasonable break point was found).
* Two new options to accommodate breaking long lines:
-hnl, --honour-newlines :
Prefer to break long lines at positions where the lines were broken
in the input file.
-nhnl, --ignore-newlines:
Don't prefer that.
-bbo, --break-before-boolean-operator :
Prefer to break long lines before the boolean operators && and ||.
-nbbo, --break-after-boolean-operator :
Prefer to break long lines after the boolean operators && and ||.
* The default is now not to indent the braces of struct, union and enum.
A new option -sbiN or --struct-brace-indentationN allows to indent it
nevertheless.
Release notes for GNU indent version 2.0, November 1998
=======================================================
* Wide strings and characters are now handled.
* Trailing spaces are removed from output.
Release notes for GNU indent version 1.10, May 1999
===================================================
* New options have been added:
"-bls" ("--braces-after-struct-decl-line")
"-brs" ("--braces-on-struct-decl-line")
"-cbiN" ("--case-brace-indentationN")
"-piN" ("--paren-indentationN")

I can't comment on NT, because I know little about it.
I do run a Linux firewall, and a Be development system that dual-boots
with Win95 (for Quake).
The major difference that I notice at a user level is that ext2fs *hates*
to be rebooted without being shutdown normally. bfs handles that just
fine, without anything like a fsck.
The bfs also has a huge disk cache on the computer, which makes many
things quite speedy. It also defers committing directory structure
changes in favour of allowing file access to get done. I've no idea what
Linux does for cache management.
I think they're both good for what they're intended. The Be filesystem
book (by Dominic Giampaolo) offers a good analysis of the tradeoffs that
led to the bfs.

Subject: /var partition won't allow new files
Date: 20 Jul 1999 13:25:41 -0500
I'm having a problem with my /var partition, which is on its own hard drive
partition. I've trying fscking it, and it came out fine. Already existing
files can be modified or deleted, but nothing new can be created, as it
gives a "No Space Left On Device" error. Df shows 37% usage of the partition,
with 28 MB free. The system had been working fine until shortly after 1:00,
the night before last. I don't know if it is coincidence or not, but 1:00 is
when the daily cron runs. Also something that popped up at the same time,
but could be coincidence, is that backspace stopped working properly in X.
The system is RH 5.2 (with assorted updates) with kernel 2.0.36 on a K6.
If anyone has any ideas on what could cause this, I would appreciate any help
you can give. Thanks,
Joe Schottman
