Subject: syslog.conf -> receive network messages ...
Date: Thu, 12 Aug 1999 12:48:26 +0200
Hi,
i am trying to configure a linuxbox to listen to messages from a network
device ( eg. another linuxbox),like a logging host. i start the syslogd on
the logging host with the -r option, so that it is able to receive messages
over a network.
on the logging host i wrote something like this in the syslog.conf:
linuxbox-b.* /var/log/linuxbox-a.log
on the network device ( the second linux-box )i wrote this in the
syslog.conf:
kern.* @linuxbox-a
both linux-boxes know each other throu the hosts-file.
teh problem is that i dont see anything getting logged by the logging host.
the same if i use a network device ( SHIVA (Intel) LanRover RemoteAccessBox)
which is able to log to somewhere else. On the LanRover i could configure
the following: log-typ: local0-7 (i used local 7) and typed the ip-adress of
the logging host. on the logging host i tried the following lines:
local7.* /var/log/ras01.log
192.168.100.100.* /var/log/ras02.log
ras-box.* /var/log/ras03.log
but with no success.
does anybody ever treid to build a logging host??? can somebody give me some
hints. i read the man-page but there is no example for a logging host.

Not if it's a WinModem -- the Windows driver does more than dial, it
actually makes your CPU act as a digital signal processor and

When my previous machine was young, and not apparently suffering
hardware failure, it was one of the higher spec machines around. It
was a 486DX2/50 with VLB, becasue PCI new and attracted a permium
price, with 8MBb of memory and a 200Mb hard disc. SLS was polular on
about 20 discs, 0.99pl13h had exciting new features and a.out ruled
the land (ELF had not even been mooted). Assuming your hardware is a
little newer than that it should work. (The lower end was 386SX25s
with 2-4Mb of memory and people had X performance problems using them).

Everything the BIOS says can be overriden using parameters at boot

The kernel has a pivot value nad has had for a long time that makes
this a non-issue---the theory is the same as the ones the TSRs use.
Naturally TSRs and their ilk will never work on Linux.

I've seen a number of posts praising mutt. I've been using pine, but
wanted to try mutt. For the most part, I like it, but how do
you set mutt up for your mail server to send mail? Right now, it doesn't
work. In pine, there is a setting for your SMTP server in the pinerc
file. I did not see any such parameters for the muttrc file. Or, since
I've never done anything with setting up sendmail - do I need to set that
up in some way for mutt to work? Thanks.

I have experience with both, most recently with Star Office. Both
have pretty good import/export capabilities for Word. I had the
feeling that Star Office was the better choice, especially for
spreadsheet (Excel) work. But I bought Applix about 3 years ago and
it may have come a long way since then. At the time, I wasn't
completely happy with it. Not enough shortcut keys.
The solution I finally settled on was the real Word and Excel running with
vmware. This works well as lond as you don't have to go to really
heavy loads where the vmware performance hit becomes more evident.
This is more likely to happen with very big spreadsheets or documents
with very heavy graphics, say 7 or 8 large figures (half to full page).

Subject: tar backup and strange messages
Date: 12 Aug 1999 12:13:15 GMT
Hello!
I've been setting up a script to do backups with GNU tar 1.12.
I do a full backup once a week and incremental backups the rest of the days.
I do a verify (with tar d) after the full backup and it fails with lots of
output consisting only of "././@LongLink". However, it seems to backup all
the stuff correctly.
What does this "././@LongLink" mean? I've checked it, there are no links at
all in the filesystem I backup, neither hard nor soft ones.
Is it possible that a verify is not possible when I do an incemental backup
although I do a verify only after the weekly full backup?
Any hints appreciated

Most medical professions in most nations have a monopoly (or
near-monopoly) on medical services, for the very good reason that it's a
profession which takes considerable training and expertise (and for which
there is a considerable liability burden). Same with, say, engineers. So
you're looking at the same situation in the both the UK and the US.
The main difference is that doctors have been able to charge what they
want in the US, inflating their wages, while many UK doctors are either
direct or indirect employees of the National Health Service or some other
government-funded operation. (Canada charts a middle road, where most
doctors get paid for service but the fee for that service is set by the
government, so they're indirectly government employees). This helps keep
fees down.

Well, you *have* roughly equivalent regulations in both cases. What you
don't have is a situation leading to massive wage inflation in the UK,
since there is no real room for bidding wars.
Consider the wage growth of, say, professional athletes: what pushes wages
up (and much more so for the stars than for the average athlete, but even
the average athlete makes excellent money) is competition for their
services. When the government (or a single industry, or a cartel, as
professional sports were until quite recently) is the only game in town,
salary competition isn't quite as good as when you have several for-profit
ventures competing for the same labour market.
That the breadth of the medical field is expanding has merely induced a
perpetual labour shortage. (One that seems to be ending in major markets,
with HMO's driving physician's fees downwards, but that's quite recent and
none too soon).
What's caused wage inflation is a surfeit of competition, not a lack, in a
tight labour market. You're barking up the wrong tree.

I have just this setup on my maching. I suggest getting partion magic 4.0.
Then:
1. Install Win98 first.
2. Use Partion Magic to move this partion such that there is < 4 gb of
unpartioned free space before it.
3. Install Boot Magic that comes with Partion Magic.
4. Install NT 4.0 in the unpartioned free space. Format as FAT or NTFS. I
suggest FAT.
5. When you get to the part of the NT setup where it reboots the machine,
select WIN98 from the Boot Magic menu.
6. Go into the Boot Magic configuration and add the NT partition. Boot
Magic should recognize it.
7. Reboot and select NT from the Boot Magic menu. NT setup will continue.
8. After NT is installed, you can install Linux in the remaining
unpartioned free space.
You will now have three OSes in three separate partitions.

In ~/.muttrc:

In principle you can do this for mail sent to Unix systems with
the finger command, e.g.,
finger user@site
should give you that information. But finger is subject to
so many security problems that most sites disable it.

The command 'route' tries very hard to resolve IP addresses. If you
aren't connected to a name server that can resolve that particular IP
address for you, route will loop for a while. To verify your newly added
gw, you can try:
$ route -n
... which will show numeric values instead of symbolic names.

as far as the folks mentioning age/experience...
23...first computer was Commodore-64 (my brother and I actually wore the power
supplies out on about 4 of those). We had the 1541 drive and a Star dot-matrix
printer. My mom just retired from teaching high school and until about the
last 2 or 3 years of teaching, she used the Commodore to type tests. I got
that computer a loooooooooong time ago - dont really remember not having it.
Experience outside there goes to Apple IIe, then 8086, then 286 and progressing
to the P-II on my desk today.
Remember when a 40MB hdd was ABSOLUTELY FRIGGIN HUGE!?!?!? How about 4MB RAM?
We'll never use all of that!
