The TERM on the remote must mach the one on you local system. If need
be you run infocmp on the local machine, copy this file to the remote
and use that as input to the tic program. This, for example, is needed
if you use the linux console and the Solaris doesn't know what a linux
console is.
Setting TERM to vt100 on Solaris can get you by for a while as this is
prety close to the linux terminal type.

Are you sure about 16 bit? I thought it was usually done in 5/5/6

Subject: free Certification Authority for Linux ?
Date: Tue, 14 Sep 1999 09:49:57 +0200
I'm setting up an experiment for which I need a web-interfaced
Certification Authority to issue certificates for Internet Explorer and
Netscape 4.x.
I've got a 'laboratory configuration' so I'm not planning to go on the
internet with the CA. In fact, the whole thing runs on a single
stand-alone PC. I've got SuSE Linux as host OS running sendmail, apache,
openldap and 2 virtual Windows 95 boxes (VMWare of course). The virtual
W95 machines have a fake TCP/IP LAN connection to the host OS on which
they're running. Together, this yields a virtual internet environment
that allows me to test interoperability between standard S/MIME capable
e-mail clients and an S/MIME plugin for Outlook 97/98/2000.
The part I'm missing is the CA software to issue X509 certificates for
Outlook and Messenger. Does anybody know where I can find such (free)
software for SuSE Linux 6.1?

On a real UNIX system, you call tar with a big enough block size and then
let tar find out which blocksize is on the tape by issuing the first read
command.
Tar then will read the next blocks with this blocksize.

Hi,
In your XF86Config file, search for something like
Virtual ( I forgot if it's a capital or small v) and
delete it. Also look for the
lines with Viewport and set it to
Viewport 0 0
Hope this helps.

THis is nonsense, but it may be that Linux (or your ASPI tar)
does not implement blocking correctly.

This is wrong!
Old tapes on IBM' mainfraime OS used a blocksize of
800 bytes (10 punch cards).
You can read these tapes on UNIX!
The blocksize limitation only applies to _unblocked_ tapes!

... But for plain files (as well as hard/symliks) with names < 100 chars and
a filesize < GB any tar implemntation should read the archive.
This makes tar the most portable archive type.

SOlaris tar on S7 and newer will allow even bigger files.
But it does use a currently non standard way to archive the values.
If sombody knows if this method is an envolvong standard, please
send e a mail.
THe big advantage of tar is that if you add enhancements the right way,
other tar implemenation may at least use the rest of the information
if the file size is not more than 8 GB.

.... and HP-UX uses 24 bit and FreeBSD uses 2 bit for minor numbers.
The POSIX standard only allows 21 bit for tar.

How did you do the mount? If you used smbmount -c 'mount /netdrive' or
whatever (from memory) then I think you just do a standard umount instead of
smbumount. But I might be quite wrong...
The command interface to Samba is a bit confusing at the moment, IMHO.

No you don't. There is nothing in the tar format that is endian specific.
The files you extract from the tar tape might be endian specific, but
that is unrelated to tar as xuch.
I used tar with standard 10k block sizes to transfer files between Intel
Motorola AIX Solaris boxes without problems as long as the tape density
is supported by the tape hardware.

I don't know if you caught it where you live, but the Government in
Australia has mad it legal to reverse-engineer software (this was done in
response to the Y2K issue, but being gov, it took them a long time to get
around to it). I'm not sure just how much this allows, but copyright would
still hold and you'd still need to respect intellectual property rights.

Last time I looked there all it said at the download sites were (quoting from

RH5.1 is indeed glibc - as is RH6. There's no accounting for different glibc

All GNU tar implementations have these problems!
If a file has a filname > 100 chars, the first part is stored in
a prefix according to POSIX.
GNUtar uses this space for nun standard extensions and chokes if
the prefix (starting at offset 345 in the header) will include
offset 482. THis means a prefix lenght of 38 bytes makes GNUtar
to believe that a file is a sparse file. As the Sparse file
notation used with GNU tar is buggy, GNUtar will not even be able
to read any file beyond this point.
I mailed this description several time to Frtanios Pinard but
he ignored me...

I recommend to use 'star' it autodetect and reads most tar dialects.
It currently is the only 100% correct POSIX tar implementation
I know of.
ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/star/alpha
The next alpha (available in a few days) will also be able to read
POSIX violating tar archives from HP-UX which include 24 bits
in the minor device numbers.
People who switch to star usually tell me some time later that
they don't want to miss the additional star features after some
weeks.

Subject: Apache errors when shutting down
I'm getting an notice in /var/log/httpd/error_log over and over when

Apache for Mandrake. Is it getting shut down properly?

If you want to recompile the programs, you can probably get away with the
standard development libraries. If you want to run the binaries, you're
not likely to have much success.
