I really feel I have to step in here. Miami's tcp/ip stack is a port of
BSD's TCP/IP code. There's not really much to maintain there for Holger
- he simply patches it whenever BSD release a patch. I'm not belittling
his work - Miami is great, and responsible for getting a hell of a lot
of Amiga users onto the internet (myself included), but even Holger
wouldn't claim to writing the whole thing himself.
Having said that, I believe all the PPP, SLIP, CHAP, and GUI stuff _is_
written by Holger - a project he's been working on for a long time
(Holger is IIRC the original author of ppp.device).

AFAIK, there's no Danish support either available for free download or on
the commercial CD. If you've got a Danish dictionary in a text file,
though, you might be able to convert it to WP format using a utility that
comes with WP (the commercial version, at least; I don't recall offhand if
it comes with the downloadable version).

problem is bdflush. kick it out.
bdflush flushes every now and then.
note: if power fails, you end up getting lost information,
especially if you have large amounts of memory installed (64Mb+),
make sure you 'sync' everytime you install or save something important.

Actually, I'd love a port of Miami DX to Linux (although I realise it's
impossible) - setting up ip-masq and ppp under Linux to just _work_ is
much harder than it needs to be IMHO. When I got my modem for my Amiga I
simply loaded up Miami, it detected my modem, I told it my ISP phone
numbers and password, and I was connected. Under Linux it's a bit
harder. Kppp is a step in the right direction - it seems to do a lot of
work for you - but it's not a unified solution, and it doesn't detect
your modem settings (although it does read your modem config) from a
list of possibles, and it's not unified throughout the system (e.g. it
doesn't make changes to the core ppp scripts so I can type "ppp-on" in
the console). [All this was on KDE 1.0 - I don't know about 1.1]
Basically, Miami is just better for the user - and I think it does make
a difference what us Linux people need - I need something that I can
just use, that if it can't dial into one phone number will just use the
next one (I don't think kppp automatically does this yet), that won't
need me to "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syncookies" in a script,
etc, etc.

It can, but you you have to carefully design your partition structure to
accommodate that plan, and it won't work if the normal boot drive is
totally useless. Also, using a modern SCSI system, you don't need to
open the case. Just select the boot drive from the SCSI HBA setup
routine.

Unless you do it in advance. Partition copy enables that. No need to
wait for failure to have the backup mostly ready to go.

Do you have any pointers to such tools? I've experiences a couple of crashes,
too, but curiously enough only since I upgraded from Slackware 3.5 to Suse 6.1,
and less crashes since I went from 2.2.5 to 2.2.10 - but it still happens
sometimes, especially when using Netscape and X.

I think the use for (executable) files is quite obsolete (?).
The main use is for the /tmp directory
drwxrwxrwt 39 root root 4096 Jul 29 13:37 /tmp
where it makes sure that users are only allowed to delete their own
files but not the ones owned by other users (remember in order to
delete a file you need write permission for the directory not the
file).

Date: Thu, 29 Jul 1999 12:35:47 GMT
Alright, stupid question time. I am system admin for a linux server
running a web-based transaction system with apache and MySQL. The main
reason I have such a job is I know a bit about linux from a basic user
level, but am only just learning the sysadmin part of it.
So here's my question: is there anything in the /var/log directory I
can go ahead an dump. Specifically, Im curious about the wtmp and
wtmp.1 files, which are HUGE. I'm trying to dump as much as possible as
right now my daily backups consume 11mb.
Does having a .<number> behind the file mean that it can be deleted?
If someone can explain this to me, I would be grateful...

Date: Thu, 29 Jul 1999 09:33:17 -0500
Hello,
I have been trying to recompile the Kernel on my Debian 2.1 installation to
add Ethernet support. When I run 'make config', I get the following error:
"make: ***No rule to make target 'config'. Stop"
This is my first kernel recompile (and my first Linux installation
actually), so experience is not on my side. I tried to find some answers in
the man pages, and in a couple of reference books. Either I don't know where
to look or I'm not recognizing the answer when I see it.
I don't think this is anything too serious, but I could use some help.
Thanks.

Dunno, W95 loses/corrupts data so frequently I can't

Certainly MVS on mainframes is pretty bulletproof in
this regard as is OS/400. BUT plenty other OS's are
actually worse than Unix in my experience: CP/M,

It is. We had a power outage with no UPS and out of 40 Sun

And thats a good point, it required manual intervention but

Deleting wtmp is a Bad Idea. Deleting wtmp.1 is ok.
[assuming a RedHat-like system]
The *.[1-5] files are created by logrotate. This script (usually
located in /etc/cron.daily) keeps your logfiles small by copying old
files to *.[1-5] and creating a fresh one which holds the current
log-messages. Of course if you have a lot of activity your files get
bigger.
What you can do to decrease the filesize:
1. Decrease the amount of information which is logged by syslogd
(see /etc/syslog.conf)
2. Compress the old logfiles (see /etc/logrotate.conf)
3. Keep only one copy (for the brave: keep none)
4. logrotate often (wtmp gets processed ones a month, do it on a
weekly basis).
But remember: in case of problems you need your logfiles.

It is happening today in the Netherlands. When you inherit money you pay the

With what right does a government claim a part of the money saved by people to
give their children some extra. The gov. just has no right to do this. Before

NO NO NO NO Raise say 20-50% additional tax and I'm sure they are going. You
know who really got hit by those laws, the little businesses where the
entrepreneur works 70-90 hours a week to make a honest living. A big company has
the money to move. In the Netherlands this is happening, and I'm sure this also
happens in the USA. Go and take a look in India or China where there are lots of
possibilities to get cheap labor.

I would have expected an intelligent remark. Not the usual wining. Perhaps you
might want to mail your president with your ideas. There are two possiblities if
you do so:1 he is going to listen, and put you behing bars
2 he is not going to listen and puts you behind bars
Of course, this only goes if you've got still laws to throw people in jail for
having strange thoughts.

Wrong answer. The correct answer is the fact that the Euro only exists on the bank
or at the stockmarket. However, it is also a fact that from januari 1th 1999 the
value of each currency is fixed at a certain level. This is needed to create a real
internal market.

Are you sure it's swapping? What's the output of free?
What do you mean by "not releasing memory"?

The only suspect that I have regarding this problem is the BIOS setup of

That sounds odd; with 128MB of RAM, there should be no need for it to
swap when merely compiling the kernel.
That being said, ask yourself what "unused memory" the kernel should
be releasing.
I *presume* that what you're referring to is the bits of memory that got
swapped out; you are expecting that eventually that the swapped-out
stuff will eventually, for some reason, get pulled back in.
Don't expect that to happen. If the stuff that got pushed to swap
never gets referenced again, which might well be the case for (for
instance) the initialization code for XFree86, there's no value to
pulling it back into memory.
On my box, the memory state (reported by "top") looks like:
CPU states: 98.6% user, 1.3% system, 98.2% nice, 0.3% idle
Mem: 63172K av, 58252K used, 4920K free, 29912K shrd, 2304K buff
Swap: 72256K av, 16212K used, 56044K free 29600K cached
Note that there's 16 MB of stuff swapped out, while there's also:
a) 4.9MB of memory completely unused, and
b) 29MB of memory used for disk cache.
What I conclude from that is that the 16MB represents code that may
represent initialization code in things that I'm running, and that it
is really unimportant that it be in memory.
I'd rather have 30MB of disk cache than have that drop to 12MB :-).
In short, I think you're misinterpreting a feature as a bug.

The typical annual GDP redistribution on the beginning of this century
was 10-15%. Nowadays, in most of countries it is ~50%. And with
it most of economic and related problems come. Still, US has the
lowest redistribution among developed countries, and thus it is the
country which is the strongest economically.
