I have Mandrake 6.0 (with samba-2.0.5a-1mdk and kernel-2.2.9-27mdk)
installed.
Whenever I make: "smbmount //windoze_box/c$ /toto" and then "ls /toto" I
have the following error:
ls: /toto: Too many open files in system
- in /var/log/messages there is:
kernel: smb_lookup: find //BOOTLOG.TXT failed, error=-23
(and a lot more like this one)
- in /var/log/samba/ there is:

And in his reply < Article 382912 of comp.os.linux.misc:>
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Gary Johnson) did nicely explain why it didn't work.
and even made a valid sugestion of useing the command form of:
. set_path
should solve the problem...
This solution was obviously popular because It was repeated in additional
replys. There is perhaps an alternitive however, Before I learned of
the above method, my solution was to add a 2nd line to the script consisting
of the sh command which will invoke a subshell which inherets the enviroment
of the script... (I don't think I had to export $PATH for it to work since
$PATH was already exported in the .profile script when I logged in) this
does use more system resorces than the . set_path method, But had the bonus
that when I was done with the temporary reason for setting the path, all I
had to do was to exit the subshell and I'd be returned to the parent shell
which still had the origianal $PATH setting... And if I was using a shell
that didn't support the . scriptname method (I'm sure there must still be
some that don't somewheres...) this method would still work.
I assume the reason for set_path is temporary in nature or it would be
easier to simply set your prefered path in .profile .bashrc or whatever
your shell initializes your session with when you login...
(of coure one could allways have the origanal path defined in another script
called restore_path so that you could
. set_path
<do the task that needed set_path>
. restore_path
<resume normal opperations...>)
I'd also like to mention that the same methods work with the cd command
in scripts for the same reasons. It was because I liked to use .bat files
in dos to cd to appropiate directories that caused me to discover that sh
would work in a unix shell, and thus in a linux one...

Why would you even think of using C++?? this does not make any sense.
Use Java man! It has all the graphics API's you could dream of, and
it is portable too, and much better language, and much easier to

Subject: PCMCIA cards in Linux, How?
Date: Tue, 10 Aug 1999 21:17:22 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have SuSE 6.1 installed with the PC Card (PCMCIA) services and my PC
has a Cardport ISA PCMCIA card reader which I intend to use solely for
flash memory ATA cards (it is not a laptop, just a normal PC).
Some parts seem to work:
- inserting the card: beep boop
- cardctl commands tell me:
#cardctl status
Socket 0:
5V 16-bit card present
Function 0: ready
#cardctl config
Socket 0:
Vcc = 5.0, Vpp1 = 5.0, Vpp2 = 5.0
- however:
#cat /var/run/pcmcia-scheme
i.e. nothing!
- and running cardinfo tells me in the various fields that it is an
"ATA/IDE Fixed Disk" and the state is "ready", but no "device",
no "IO ports" and no "interrupt".
- the "ide.opts" is:
*,*,*,1)
DO_FSTAB="y" ; DO_FSCK="n" ; DO_MOUNT="y"
FSTYPE="msdos"
OPTS=""
MOUNTPT="/ide"
;;
*,*,*)
PARTS="1"
;;
esac
as per SuSE, which delivered this file, but with all lines commented
out.
The problem is that I don't know what to expect. I consulted the
HOWTO-PCMCIA, but it does not tell me how I would be able to access the
files (msdos file system) on these cards.
As far as I can figure out, it should mount the card file system
under /ide (as per ide.opts) when I insert the card, but it is not.
The "ide" script in /etc/pcmcia calls upon /etc/pcmcia/scheme,
I guess to get the $DEVICE, but that file has only 1 character "\n"
and is only created at boot time (i.e. not when I insert the card).
There is also no line added to the /etc/fstab, to mount the card.
Do I need to supply a "scheme", a $DEVICE", and if so, how and what?
Have I missed some essential parts in the doc?
Any clue as to how to get access to these PC cards under linux is
welcome (it works without porblems under M$).

It's obvious from the above that you've never actually *been* to
Australia. They have what the Americans would denigrate as "socialised

If no errors then you are up and running, put those lines in your

That of course is about as minimal as you can get, but it works. You
will be able to access the modem (ppp0) on linux simultaneouly by all

accesses internet by ether card merely make the -i ppp0 into -i

That's SuSE. I've had trouble with Red Hat. It makes symlinks at
boot time depending on which System.map-2.x.x it finds.
If the symlinks are wrong, modules won't load.
(For this reason, I consider Red Hat broken. They ship a
system that won't compile and install the kernel as Linus
releases it. When people fret about commercialization
straining the opensource model, that's the kind of thing
they're talking about.)

The newcomer was asking for advice. My advice was to keep your
install kernel around, instead of letting "make zlilo" destroy it.
Further, the automatic Lilo config that comes with the commercial
distributions will not do what this newcomer needs to do.
Therefore, the newcomer has three choices:
1. try to use the lilo automation that came with her or his disto
and get frustrated
2. learn to configure lilo, to install an untested kernel that
might not work, or
3. postpone learning to configure lilo until kernel making is
out of the way.
As anyone who has ever worked a help desk could tell you, go for the
option that poses the least chance of failure and frustration for
the newcomer. Installing Linux is not a test of macho hacker
manliness. We're trying to help the guy escape from the
Microsoft Nightmare, not challenge him with our guru learning curve.
And even experienced macho hackers test one thing at a time
instead of everything at once.
> I hate booting from a floppy (It takes so damned LONG!).
I hate solving problems with three variables instead of three
problems with one variable each.
You need a good kernel to boot with LILO. But you don't
need LILO to boot a good kernel. One step at a time.
You only have to boot the floppy kernel once.

Too bad "make zlilo" doesn't offer that option.

The quality of 1.44 MB diskettes declines every year.
The cp(1) command *attempts* to make a bootimage floppy.
But the only way to be sure it succeeded is to
flush the floppy driver's buffers and compare the floppy
against the file. (If you don't like "floppycontrol -f"
you can pop out the diskette and shove it back in, which
has the same effect.) If you don't flush the buffers, the
data that cmp(1) reads from "/dev/fd0u1440" will be coming from
main memory, not from the suspect surface of the floppy disk.
I use the fixed format driver because
for the seven years I have been using Linux it has been a
lot more reliable than the autosensing driver.

... which is precisely why Linux (on Intel, at least) executes the
'hlt' instruction in its idle task, which halts all processor activity
(until the processor is woken by the next hardware interrupt).

Well, unless they better themselves and their situation. When dealing

You seem to have a reading comprehension problem here.
Being able to provide for your offspring, and not place the burden of
supporting them on others has nothing directly to do with being married.
It's not an unreasonable idea, and it runs throughout many cultures: that
you should only be allowed to have the children (and wives, in some places)
you can afford.
Can you address the issue with swearing a blue streak?

Not unreasonable, and it seems to be becoming a more common sentiment, as
the aftereffects of our failed welfare state experiment become more obvious.
> > >And what if they have kids?
Before or after they can't afford them and choose not to work?
If they have kids after, well then they should be subject to *some* form of
disincentive, as opposed to being supported by the state and the labor of
others, and thereby rewarded for their incredibly selfish and antisocial
behavior.
If they had kids already, and decide not to work to support them, then
maybe the children should be placed in the custody of someone better able
to raise them properly.

Lovely. Many areas in the US *did* have a system that encouraged single
unemployed mothers to have as many kids as they could. That's a problem
that needs to be addressed.

What's wrong with individual reponsibility?

Subject: tar hoses system
Date: Tue, 10 Aug 1999 21:38:16 GMT
All,
I have a pentium running RH 5.2. Installed is an adaptec 1520 card,
with a sony sdt-s7200 external tape drive attached. When I try to tar a
filesystem to the tape drive (running DDS-2 tapes) after a few minutes
the system becomes totally non responsive. Now, I can't have this
because this box is running critical DNS, DHCP, and web servcies. Any
ideas? I'm not doing anything crazy, just a simple tar:
tar cvf /dev/st0 /download
where download is a filesystem (/dev/hda6 but that shouldn't matter)
When I mean non responsive, I mean completely...does not service DNS
requests, cannot telnet to it, can't input via the keyboard, won't
listen to screaming, etc.
If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it!
Greg

Yes, it does!!! I have one as /dev/hdd (e.g. 2nd IDE, slave). No driver
needed. Just create under the /mount directory the /LS120 subdirectory. Then
in /etc/fstab add a line containing "/dev/hdd /mnt/ls120 msdos
noauto,rw 0 0" and all you have to do is: mount /dev/hdd and cd /mnt/ls120.
Don't worry about the message about the blocks and sizes you'll probably get.
Good luck,
Huub

Subject: Login thru AIX authentication
Date: Tue, 10 Aug 1999 18:11:38 -0400
I'm trying to make a Linux client that will authenticate users against
an established AIX userbase. The user's home directory would be their
AFS home directory (got AFS 3.5 working, this works fine). I could copy
the /etc/passwd from the AIX machine, but how would I get the password
database? Or is there a PAM that would do something like this?
Thanks...please cc [EMAIL PROTECTED]
