hello Linus, how much of change would the kernel need to get it
sheduling a la QNX and Kickstart ?
Like, "//" the lines that decide to sometimes run lower priority
processes, like a 5 minutes change for the man that knows each line of

And then I'd priorize the process that is moving the X-pointer... is
it possible X dynamically raise priority of the process belonging to

--I have Quicken Basic 99, and according to the ratings of
programs on the wine web page, it has rating 1---which means
that in effect it does not run. Some early versions of
Quicken probably run.

Folks,
We are getting ready to upgrade some multiprocessor Intel web servers
configured with SCSI & NFS from 2.2.5 -> 2.2.12
Has anyone had any surprises with this? Any problems with system

I doubt if this is possible to do this under any Unix
filesystem, as a practical matter. In principle, the data
could be sitting there on the disk, but most likely some of
it has already been overwritten by normal ongoing processes.
And trying to reassemble a large zip file would be virtually
impossible. But perhaps some expert will have some suggestions.
That is the reason for doing backups!

Most likely although Linux was not using the Winmodem, there
was still an interrupt conflict because it was seen at the
hardware level. You might have been able to resolve the problem
by fiddling with interrupts under Linux. But why bother?
You don't ordinarily need two modems. Put the Winmodem in
some other computer running only Windows or sell/give it away.

You might find it tricky backing up everything if you are using
floppies, but you can do multivolume tars to a floppy if you
want. In addition to the user directories, I make one time backups
of any packages I install. In addition I backup the entire
/etc directory. In my case, this is about 2.1 MB. Otherwise
you can easily forget some important file. But you would also
probably want to make separate copies of the following files
for convenience
XF86Config cron.daily fstab hosts hosts.deny
shadow crontab host.conf hosts.allow lilo.conf passwd
conf.modules isapnp.conf
In addition, you might consider backing up the /var and
/boot directories.
I should say that I've actually restored a system after a
disk failure using just this sort of backup. I reinstalled
RH5.2 and carefully merged my configuration files.
But except in rare cases, upgrading that unnamed other OS
should not affect your Linux partition.

We have been using imap with Linux for pop service for several
years. It works with fetchmail (under Linux), with netscape,
and with Eudora.

Normally you should just have
ALL: ALL
in hosts.deny. You control who can use a service by what is in
hosts.allow.
You should have
ALL: LOCAL
in hosts.allow
If you want everything in the subnet xxx.yyy.edu to be able to
use telnet, you would put
in.telnetd: .xxx.yyy.edu
in hosts.allow. If you want only specific machines in your
subnet to be able to do so, you will have to study the documentation
very carefully. This requires understanding exactly how the
syntax works. Normally you do it with internet numbers and
possible with masking.

Exactly. I don't want my HD to spin up when something is auto-saved or
some program creates a lockfile or similar small stuff. And I am willing
to take the risk that unsaved data is lost when I lose power. My system
does not crash as far is I can tell, so there is little concern.
What I want is to allow my programs to read and write files whenever
they want, but only from and to ramdisk, so that the HD stays spun down.
(A major concern for a laptop user.)

Actually, no. Sending it a SIGTERM is the correct way to terminate pppd.
Programs such as Debian's 'poff' do just that.

I second that, but then I'm the author. However, pppconfig does not stop
or start pppd. It just sets up the files in /etc/ppp/peers and
/etc/chatscripts so that any user or program can bring up a connection with
'pppd call connection_name' (this is the method recommended by the authors
of pppd). Debian's 'pon', used to start ppp, is just
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/pppd call ${1:-provider}
Unfortunately, pppconfig is only available in Debian. It would work fine
with other distributions, but none have seen fit to distribute it.

Subject: -=-=-= A challenge, a prize and a good cause =-=-=-
Date: 04 Sep 1999 18:11:22 +0200
Readers of comp.os.linux.misc might like to participate in the following
project. It was developed entirely on Alpha Linux but all
participants are welcome!
There is 32-bit and 64-bit source code that can be compiled on just
about any Unix-like O.S. There are also binary executables for
Windows (9x and NT) and Solaris.
Bye,
Rob.
==============================================================================
Further details at the Web site:
http://pauillac.inria.fr/~harley/ecdl6/readMe.html
==============================================================================
* Calling all users of free and open-source software! *
The challenge: Certicom ECC challenge (see http://www.certicom.com/chal/).
The prize: $5000.
The good cause: Free Software Foundation (see http://www.fsf.org/).
We've got some awesome machines and are capable of solving big
problems if a large enough percentage of us are mobilised. The first
six problems in the Certicom ECC challenge have been already been
solved (see http://www.certicom.com/chal/ch_6.htm). This next problem,
called ECC2-97, is the hardest yet.
For comparison with the just-completed factorisation of RSA-155: this
is harder! Compared with an exhaustive search of DES: this is a bit
easier, but uses an interesting algorithm rather than searching
blindly for a needle in a haystack.
We need to find *distinguished points* on a certain elliptic curve
until the same point is found in two different ways and then the
solution can be computed easily. Each point takes a billion elliptic
curve operations (on average) and it is estimated that a matching pair
will be found after about 400000 points.
The prize for the first correct solution is $5000. If we win it, $500
will go to each of the two people who find the match and we will
donate the remaining $4000 to the F.S.F. (same as last time, see
http://pauillac.inria.fr/~harley/ecdl5/fsf.gif).
==============================================================================
* So why not participate in the project? *
Just grab the source code, compile it, and leave it running in the
background. The program uses CPU time but almost no other resources,
so by running it with 'nice' you'll hardly notice. Source code for
Unix-like operating systems and detailed info are available at:
http://pauillac.inria.fr/~harley/ecdl6/source/
There are also binary executables for Windows (9x and NT) and
Solaris in:
http://pauillac.inria.fr/~harley/ecdl6/binaries/
Good luck!
Rob.
PS: Constructive comments are very welcome.

You have to make sure you installed the pop3 rpm, and edit the
/etc/inetd.conf and remove the comment # sign.
once you have done that, reboot or KILL -HUP the pid of inetd
and that should allow popper to run.
You may want to paiste a portion of your /var/log/messages file to
have more specific error reporting.

I de-installed Netscape Communicator in COL 2.2, replacing it with plain old
Navigator 4.5 [I prefer to use stand-alone mail and news clients]. However, I
seem to be having some problems. Whenever I launch Navigator, I get the error
message:
Netscape: Error <2>
Couldn't open animation file
Moreover, Netscape's buttons are all black and white [or black and grey].
What's the problem here, and is there any way to get the colour back in my
browser.
Also, is there anyway to get Netscape to handle a URL that I click on in KMail?
Right now, nothing happens, and there doesn't seem to be an option for handing
off URL's in KMail's preference. Also, now that I'm using plain-old Navigator,
I can't seem to find a way to get it to refer mailto: links to KMail.
Any help is appreciated. I'm relatively new to Linux and KDE.

You can download the latest version of netscape (4.61 i believe) from
ftp.netscape.com they have the linux version listed there in there
supported unix platforms.
If you use KDE or Gnome they both offer email and news programs.
You can find a plethora of applications to try from

StarOffice also includes a nice email program, sun just purchased them

Sounds to me like IRQ problems. Make sure debug is set up on your pppd
(see axion.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html for how to do this and other
ppp stuff)
Look at the chat script output especially at the first AT sent to the
modem and the OK returned. If that time difference is more than 1 sec,
youhave irq problems. You MUST use setserial to set the irq that linux
uses for the modem port (ttyS?) to the same irq that the modem actually
uses.

Keep in mind that Linux is really Unix and rsh is quite
compatible among different versions of Unix.

But read the documentation that comes with cdparanoia. You'll see that
there's probably a reason it's working slowly - fixing the problems of
your 24x drive. There is a lot that goes into successfully ripping music
off of CD's. If you have one of the rare CD-ROMS that can go full-tilt,
you can disable the "paranoia" part of cdparanoia with the -Z switch.
Then it should be just as fast as cdda2wav. But I'll bet you'll find all
kinds of pops and skips.

Where does ps2pdf come from?

Subject: How to get a job running again?

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I had this bunch of jobs I was running on a redhat6.0 linux box.
My interface (X-terms) died because somebody disconnected my ethernet
connection. I still see the jobs in "ps ux" but they are all "sleeping"
and no output files were created since then.
I am wondering if there is anyway (send a signal with Kill, somehow get
into the same terminal (same ttyp) and foreground etc?) that I can get
them running again. The cpu usage time is not going up either.
I was executing a C code which has constant output to STDIN and to some
files. I simply ran it with "&" at the end. nothing like a "nohub" or "nice".
I would hate to figure out where they died and re-do the whole thing :<
Please e-mail a copy of the replies. my address is below.
