I experienced problems with ARCserve/Open between a SCO box
and Slackware, and found the problem was the ARCserve
cound't communicate with the passwords shadowed. My error
message was different, but I was using a different product,
too. :)
The Slackware box would show up as a valid server to be
backed up, but it couldn't log in to make the backup.

Subject: fdisk discrepant with fdisk; why?
Date: Fri, 06 Aug 1999 19:20:43 GMT
What's it mean when a disk's geometry is reported differently by the
fdisk on my installed RedHat5.2 and the fdisk on the RedHat6.0 CD I'm
using to install 6.0 to a different partition? Respectively:
5.2's fdisk
1024 cylinders
255 heads
63 sectors
6.0 CD's fdisk
1027 cylinders
255 heads
63 sectors
BIOS (for comparison)
16383 cylinders
16 heads
63 sectors
All for the same disk. There's another disk in the machine, for which
the 2 fdisk's consistently report the same geometry.
The effect, when fdisk thinks there are 1027 cylinders is a warning
that you shouldn't have more than 1024 for certain purposes. I'm not
so much concerned with this effect as with explaining the cause-- why
should the 2 copies/versions of fdisk report anything different when
looking at the same thing?

It's probably blocked if it comes back as unreachable.

They probably have telnet disabled to that machine. If they administer
it through the console, no one needs to telnet in. Either that or they
have used a different port to telnet in through, deliberately
obfuscating their setup to make a hack attempt more challenging.

There is probably no way to bypass the block. When I ran my ISP, I
blocked the dial up customers from opening any SMTP connections outside
of the local network. I had to do this in order to prevent individuals
from using their dial up accounts to send spam through unsecured SMTP
servers. Since it was set up through the router, there was no way to
bypass it.
I'm betting that since you are using mailandnews.com, you aren't trying
to spam anyone. Unfortunately for you, I also bet NetZero probably
won't care. I'm guessing you won't have a choice in the matter and will
have to go through another service if you want to bypass the block.

Redhat's using XFree86 xterm; the terminfo entry for that adds things that

To expand on that, a seg fault is due to memory access problems. For example,
if you're running software that dynamically allocates memory to a pointer, but
does a sloppy job at it, you'll get a seg fault if you try to access memory
using that pointer that isn't allocated to it-especially if you're trying to
write to an address that's outside the pointer's range. Another case is when
the pointer told to point to a spot in memory that it has no business pointing
to, and tries to write there. If you get a seg fault and have the source code,
follow the program around and see if it crashes when it does an operation like
assigning vaules to an array. It's fairly easy to fix these kind of bugs.

This is not the nonsence you seem to think it is. In Marx's time and place
there were very, very few people who made their millions without exploiting
a labor pool which, due largely to high unemployment, was an easy mark. It
seems absurd to us today, because many employers pay a fair wage for a fair
day's work.
> Or "classless society". Nice vision of paradise.
Perhaps, but it is in some way the ideal of capitalism, where anyone is able
to become rich, social class is eliminated in both marxist, and capitalistic
visions of the future. In the 19th century the remnants of fudalism were
still quite active, and was the opposed by both the "masses" and the growing
middle class.

This does not seem to be true, and I don't know where you get it from marx,
but if you take V (total value of the product) and subtract the (P) gross
proffit, you will get a value CP (Cost of Production), now TC is the sum of
two costs MC (Cost of materials) and (LC). This gives us:
V-P=TC
or V-P=MC+LC
if you solve this for Labor Cost you get:
V-P-MC=LC
This is simple algebra, and it does not produce the consiquences you
describe. The value of an object is not a variable which depends entierly
on the TLV (or LC in the above equasion.)
You may want to clarify what you believe Marx's understanding of LTV, or you
may want to claim that P and MC are fixed in such a way that V is directly
proportional to LC, this however would be to take a formula which is
intended to derive Labor Value from Total Value and using it backwards.
This would be a problem, as you say, since the real value of an object
cannot be calculated by the formula Value=Total Cost + Proffit, it is a
result of much more complicated set of factors. These factors include, but
not limited to: the presence of viable competion who are willing to sell at
a lower proffit margin, the marginal costs of the good in at a given sale
price, the marginal benifits of the given good, the marketing strategy used,
the possibilty that other goods will better fulfill the same function at a
lower marinal cost...

But, since it's aims are opposed to those of the buisness cartel, who want
to force artificaily LOW labor costsm, it serves a purpose in the wider
market.
At the same time, I believe that many of the benifits which are often
atributed to unions today are actually the result of relitively low
unemployment.

I think that the radical portion of the whole linux community is the GNU
GPL, and the concept of "copyleft." The GPL effectively throws a wrench into
the current economics of software, and it has already changed the way many
of us think about intelectual property. And that will inevetably force a
reevaluation of the way that transfinite goods are processed in a market eco
nomy. And I have little doubt that these transformations will result in
more efficent markets, which have greater access to vital computiational
infastructure.

Minor technicality is a server has to be up in order to be hacked.
Microsoft's server has been down for longer than it's been up since it's

that it is installed on the first disk, same filesystems and all.
Then every night I want to use cpio to sync all the files on the
second disk to those on the first disk. The goal is, in the event
that something horrible happened to the first disk, I would be able to
unplug it and boot from the second with *absolutely no other
modifications.*
Could it work like this?
Thanks,
Richard
