Does anyone know how to change the hostid of the machine running
redhat 6.0 (kernel2.2). There exists a sethostid for kernel 2.0, but
this doesn't work on 2.2.
Does anyone know where i can find the sethostid command for kernel
2.2?
Thanks!

Subject: Is there an e-mail program for Linux that can read Eudora mailboxes?
Date: 7 Aug 1999 03:26:01 GMT
I currently have Eudora Pro 4.x on Win98 and I'm about ready to switch
over to Linux as my primary OS. However, I would like to know if there is
an e-mail program for Linux (GNOME/X preferably) that can read Eudora
mailboxes and address books (or is there a tool that can easily convert
them to a format that can be read), or would I be stuck trying to do it by
hand?
Thanks in advance,
Stephan

It will surely come as a great shock to you (hopefully enough so you
drop dead of a heart attack) that I've advocated for all of those
things. I've always put cooperatives and credit unions at the center
of socialism and always distinguished between nationalization and
socialization of the economy.

But you'd have a problem if non-coops were outlawed. You aren't
against human rights /per se/, you just don't want salvery outlawed.

What the hell does "individuals" mean? If "individuals" work *together*
then you're talking about a bloody SOCIETY!
The most significant thing an individual person can do would be to
assassinate Jean Chretien or William Clinton. It would in fact be
very easy to do so. And you know what? It wouldn't change a single

What is "a set of individuals" if not a de facto society? You keep
harping about Individuals as if societies are random collections of
people and human beings are atomic, islands unto themselves.

In the formation of a society, you're never actually working alone.
Always, you must be working with others whether they are present or
absent, whether their cooperation is explicit or implicit. Even in
the most vulgar "I will brainwash this horder of morons" schemes,
you are always relying on others and never acting individually.
Even a solitary political activist is *NOT* an individual.

I don't use gateway.net, but there is a really easy solution. Use another
set of nameservers.
some examples that i use:
DNS servers for epix.net:
199.224.86.20
199.224.64.20
DNS servers for pa.net:
205.166.61.130
205.166.61.140
DNS servers for PSU:
128.118.25.3
130.203.1.4
eg, pick two of these IP addresses at random and put a
namserver <IPADDR> in your resolv.conf
DNS doesn't give a damn which nameserver you use; it doesn't matter if you
use "yours" or someone else's.
by the way, according to InterNIC, the nameservers for gateway.net are
63.66.78.33
63.66.78.35

Well, you can probably do something like ensuring that a user has a
~/.bash_logout file in their directory at login time, and if not, give them
one. If they do, then ensure that it has the stuff you're interested in.
There does not appear to be a system-wide logout script, though.
What are you wanting to do in this system-wide logout script? If it's
something security related, or otherwise important, remember that they are
easily bypassed. For example, to "logout" without executing the system-wide
logout script (if one existed):
# kill $$
easily defeats your script.
So, what problem are you trying to solve?

Hmmmm... GNU/Linux is competition for Microsoft Windows (as well as

I don't know of any such global file that will do what you want. Now
that you mention it, it seems a little strange that one doesn't exist.
A solution would be to write a shell script named "exit" that takes
precedence over the system command. You could program that script do
whatever you want, then actually exit the system as normal.

Reply-To: "Mark Feinstein" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I'm installing Red Hat Linux 6.0 on a Gateway G6-450XL, 16GB drive with only
a C: partition. I tried using Partition Magic 4.0 to carve off a 3GB
partition for Linux -- it cranked away, reported that it couldn't "lock a
locked drive," and left me with 3GB of free space. Red Hat's installer
found the free space and let me mount a swap partition (127MB) and a /usr
partition (2GB). But trying to mount a /boot or / partition returned a "too
big" error no matter how small I set the size. I suspect the problem is the
requirement that the root or boot partitions must be located below cylinder
1024, and apparently there's no space there. Or perhaps I should have
figured out the "locked drive" problem and started out with a Linux
partition created by Partition Magic? Any help is appreciated.

If you mean based on the argument that "humans don't have many
instincts", no biologist would buy that, behaviorally or
otherwise. Humans have plenty of instincts. We do appear to have an
unusual degree of ability to override many of our instincts, but that
doesn't mean they are not there.

Hmm, do chimps fail to be animals as well then? Or certain cetaceans
which are believed to have a high degree of ability for abstract
thought and language skills?
I do think humans are qualitatively different from the vast majority
of other animals, that this difference is what endows us with rights,
and that chimps and dolphins and the like are borderline cases which
may or may not be on "our" side of the divide. But I also agree with
the earlier assertion that we and our creations are as much a part of
nature as are other animals and their creations.

It's not really nonsense to check your iso image. This insures that the
image was properly created as an ISO9660 filesystem before you burn it.
Windows doesn't provide a mechanism for you to do this; all you can do
is hope the image was created properly and then burn it. You don't _have_
to check the image. After you've burned a few CDs successfully, it's
probably safe to assume that mkisofs is doing its job properly.

Have you tried burning an audio CD outside of xcdroast? For example, can you
do a 'cdrecord -v -dev=0,0 -speed=2 (or 4 or whatever) -audio < track1 track2 ...>'?
Maybe you just aren't using the interface correctly somehow. I suggest trying
to record using the command line first and then see if you can get that working
first.
Good luck,

I have an Alton 590M board with the AGP SiS6326 8 meg setup. Works fine
with RHL6.0 and Win98. NT4 often leaves white areas where I closed a

This is the second board,the first said 8 megs only for three weeks,
then went to 4 megs. Then sometimes my video would go comletely black.
This board has worked much better for the 6 months I've had it. Maybe
one of the earlier posters has some bad hardware.
