Subject: Problems with Samba KHK - Accessdatabase
Date: Tue, 27 Jul 1999 09:36:58 GMT
Dies ist eine mehrteilige Nachricht im MIME-Format.
==============10077187569B8BDF46741577
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
I have problems with the Program KHK (Windows Accounting Program) which
uses
a Access Database residing on the Linux/Samba Server. It opens the
database
terrible slow (it�s about 8 mb). Also packed .zip files are horrible to
unpack over the Network from the Samba server. Even small files! Is
there a
solution? Or did i make same mistakes in configuration?
The conf file from Samba is atteched.
Ich habe Probleme mit dem KHK Programm (Windows Buchhaltung und
Warenwirtschaft). Es ben�tzt eine Access Datenbank, die auf unserem
Linux/Samba server beherbergt ist. Das �ffnen des KHK Programmes
(vermutlich
der Datenbank) geht derart langsam voran (ca 1-2 Minuten) (des konns jo
nit
sein) da� ich mir ernsthaft sorgen mache :-). (ca 8mb ist das File
gro�).
Auch das entpacken von .zip files �bers Netz ist �ber�berlangsam. Gibts
daf�r eine L�sung? Oder hab ich in der Konfiguration fehler gemacht?
Anbei die Sambakonfigurations Datei.
Hope on Help
Warte auf Hilfe

You're 'round the bend, friend. I've been working since I was 15

No, the worst thing is that the selfish bourgeois, among the number of
which unfortunately we must count you, are in complete control of the
governments of the western world. Therefore, the poor and the weak
will continue to be objects of abuse and ridicule. I won't be around
to see that change. I believe that western civilization is
fundamentally corrupt. In another 50 years, the US will no longer be
a democracy. European nations are more problematic, as they have a
more secure historical foundation (mostly), and less obsession with
protecting individual irresponsibility. If the EU can resist the
economic pressures of the US, the citizens there may yet come out on
top.

Subject: Linux-Backup dump
Date: 27 Jul 1999 08:31:16 GMT
Hi to all,
I am trying to backup my HDD to a file
(to put it on a CD-R on a Windows Box)
The computer is a P133 with Suse 5.2
and just runs all day long as a
RADIUS-server for an Ascend-Router.
The Installation is just minimal.
100 MegB on one 'big' /-Partition (dev/hdb2)
I then tried to make a full backup
to have a working copy of the system
with its 100's of changes in dozens
of configfiles.
I tried
dump 0f /mnt/archiv.dmp /dev/hdb2
where /mnt is a second disk
I get the following message:
dump: master/slave protocol botched
just seconds after: Pass III (dumping directories)
Before this it tells me:
mapping (Pass I und II)
estimated 118565 tape blocks on 3.05 tapes
The archiv.dmp file is touched, and maybe 30K in size.
Any idea how I should do this?
By the way I also tried to output to <stdout> but this
gives the same result.
Regards
Thomas

Right, for "someone with your education" it was just a temporary
thing. You seem to be incapable of realizing that had you not excused
yourself by making clear that it was "just temporary," you would have
been the object of ridicule. Too bad. I was a forklift operator for
more than 20 years and I know what you don't -- that the bourgeois

Well, I'd be all for a classless society, in which "all men are
created equal" -- and all women, too. However, such a society is an
object of terror to the bourgeois, whose lives are based on an
obsessive comparison of their status above and "superiority" to those
below them -- and they control the purse strings.

: So that type of work is for the uneducated (or just poorly educated)?
One irony is that many factory jobs in the U.S. disappeared during the
1980s and 1990s not because technology directly replaced workers, but
because it demanded skills of these workers that they simply did not
have, like being able to read and do math at a high school level.
(Note: I was a factory worker during much of the 80s.)
The relatively few people who saw this coming, especially in the
places most affected (e.g., the Detroit-Cleveland-Youngstown-
Pittsburgh axis, the Ohio River Valley, large urban centers in the
Northeast, etc.) begged and pleaded with workers to improve their
education and training, but mostly to no avail. Too many people
gambled that the low-tech, low-skill jobs would come back. They
didn't, and won't. Not here, and not in any relatively high-wage
country.
The process also brought into much clearer focus that the U.S.
educational system, in spite of being among the most lavishly funded
in the world, has some serious problems that MUST be addressed if our
nation is to survive - preferably, through some form of competition
and/or quality standards that are not politically motivated and
manipulated. Human resources are after all the most valuable that any
nation can have.
Although I'm a libertarian, I do agree with some of the critics on the
left (although not nearly so far left as Kulisz) at least insofar as
recognizing that the educational, criminal justice, financial, legal,
and entertainment systems serve, whether intentionally or not, to
perpetuate a surprisingly rigid class structure, one in which the
best-motivated can and do achieve, but in which there is a
semi-permanent "underclass" whose problems are overwhelming and from
which only the best-motivated and gifted individuals can escape. The
existence of this underclass is very convenient for both of the
political parties, for the social services bureaucracy, for those who
hire unskilled labor, and for others who prey upon ignorance and
decay. These are problems that people on both the left and right seem
to see and to be willing to address, although their diagnosis and
prescriptions differ enough that they are seldom willing to work
together to address them.

AFAIK, all bootable partitions must be located completely within the first
1024 cylinders. Booting from D: would not be possible in this case.

There's a lesson I've learned the hard way: NEVER use more then ONE fdisk
on ONE hard disk!! Simply don't do it, in very most cases you get
overlapping errors or partition can't be made bootable or are not visible
from all OS... it's a mere pain!
There are several fdisks that come bundled with a nice boot manager, such
as partman (http://www.users.intercom.com/~ranish/part/) or fdisk or
Partition magic. I had good results with partman. The latest version can
handle hard drives bigger than 8GB (although I didn't test it)
Friends of mine prefer xfdisk of Florian Painke. I have no experiences with
Partition Magic.
On the partman homepage there is a lot of good information, too.
