Hello everyone,
I am new to Linux but have 10 yeras of SCO and AIX experience, I was
able to install Red Hat version 6 on 1 P11, 266 machine, now I need to
know how to add user(s) and a SCSI tape drive (Adaptec cont and DAT
drive), later I want to install a DigiBoard, one more thing how come I
can't login as a root from a Windows machine using Telnet session, it's
keep saying wrong password, I can login on the console using root with
same password, do you have to have a different user added in order to
login from network device. I will appreciate all the help, And I know I
am going to have more question so sorry in advance.
Thank you very much...

Yes, That will work. It is very easy to do. Just setup you dial-up
networking an normal, and in the connections tab under internet otions
in the control panel, select dial when netwrok connection doesn't exist.
setup your ethernet cards (connect with a crossover cable) and assing a
unique IP address to each of them (192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 for
example)

I use dialup to connect with my ISP (i.e. don't have a static dimain
name) and have the following problem with pine in Red hat 6.1 (pine
4.10):
a) If I don't specify a domain name pine won't work.
b)If I give my ISP's domain name, then it uses my userid at _Local
Machine_ (which is different from my userid at my ISP)+ the domain name
of _ISP_ , and so when the recepient replies, the mail goes to a wrong
person. Either I'm doing something terribly wrong here or there is a
serious security bug with it (I suspect the former). I've played with
the config files to change the "from" header with no success.
Any hints on how I can fix this?
Thanks,
Ramin Sina

Does anyone know a way to ftp a list of files?
I wrote a script that uses awk to determine a list of files. Now I want
the script to automatically ftp them to a different server.
For example, I use awk to determine which files have zero bytes. Then I
want to get the files of the same name from a different server.
Thanks.

According to the man page, you can skip 5 pages by hitting the ">>" button
with the middle mouse button ("button 2"); or 10 pages, with the right

Have the script write a .netrc file. "Man ftp" tells you the format of

OK, next question: what user are you running tar as (normal user /

protection are these file set to. Tar can't backup files it can't read.

If Linux is able to see the partition just fine (as evidenced by the fact
that Linux boots up and works on your system), then I would not worry
about it.
Fdisk is an old application, and can not handle partition tables generated
by the fdisks that other OSes use all the time.

Hmmm, I am not sure exactly what you are asking here (no puedo hablar
espanol tompoco, so I undertand this may be a language barrier), but if I
understand you correctly:
The XF86Config file is located (on RedHat-type system) in /etc/X11. You
probably don't want to edit this file by hand--jusr run Xconfigurator to
set up X for your display.
X also comes with a script (that is more clunky to use than Xconfigurator)
call xf86config that may work if Xconfigurator fails.

Keep in mind that you have to choose the SMTP server you use wisely, since
you can no longer just use any SMTP server on the net to send mail to any
other SMTP server on the net (spammers, ugh)

Subject: Kernel Compiling-modules
Date: Mon, 06 Mar 2000 15:22:59 -0800
The kernel is compiled and it boots OK. The problem is not all the
modules are built. For example the pcmcia module is not built, even
though it is in the original installation.
This is on a Dell Inspiron 7500, with SuSE 6.3 installed. Since the
pcmcia module is not built, I can not use the Gold Modem card in that
slot.
I have been through kernel building 20 times and have never gotten the
modules to completely build. The process I am using is
in /usr/src, expand the kernel tarball
make mrproper
make xconfig
make dep
make clean
make zImage
make modules
make modules_install
I have seen one reference (forgot where) that the make modules and make
module_install should be before make zImage. Tried that... no luck.
I have tried using the existing pcmcia *.o files, but on boot it
complains that these were compiled with an older kernel (2.2.13 vice the
new 2.2.14).
I'm stumped.

They usually come with a new kernel, so http://www.kernel.org is probably
the best place to look for new device drivers.
Drivers that are not part of the kernel proper can usually be found with a
web serch engine, such as the one at http://www.google.com

Hmmm, I thought one of the first things the RedHat install program asked
for was if you had any PCMCIA cards.
My solution is a little involved.
1. Get the cardmgr RPM package, which should be on the RedHat cd, install
it with:
rpm -i cardmgr-whatever-version.i386.rpm
(in the directory containing RPMS, usually /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS)
2. Insert the PCMCIA card, making sure you see something on the screen
like "adding device eth0"
3. In an office with DHCP enabled, running "dhcpcd" and waiting two
minutes.
4. On a home LAN, using the 'ifconfig' and 'route' commands to set up
an IP for your system. I have some scripts on my laptop (at home)
for doing this.

Hello,
I'm fairly new to Linux ( have installed it a couple of times on a couple of
machines) and I keep having the same problem with the screen resolution -
the installed system doesn't accept resolutions higher than 600 x 400, which
makes my graphical interface really too big and clumsy (at least for my 17
inch monitor).
I have tried both Redhat 5.2, 6.1 and Caldera 2.3.
The machine I recently installed Linux om (first Calderea 2.3, later Redhat
6.1, I tried both Gnome and KDE) has got a Panasonic PanaSync 5G, 4MB video
ram, and a Pentium 200 MHz.
Why does not the installation procedures (both Redhat and Caldera) accept
higher resolutions than this? And is there a way to force a higher
resolution manually?
Thank you in advance,

This is a Redhat 5.1 (2.0.34) system with a HP LaserJet 4000

who wants to work that way). It
also works fine if I boot into Linux and print through samba from

If I try to print a netscape page, or if I try to print a file with

all that happens is a blank page comes out.
Here's my /etc/printcap

www.google.com. There is a website somewhere that was keeping a list,
and it was a long one last time I looked. I am clueless on the URL ATM.

Subject: Clock drift problem
Date: 6 Mar 2000 23:49:02 GMT
I have a strange problem with some PC104 486 systems. I reset the system and
hardware clocks on 3 of these machines last week. 3 days later the hardware
clocks are all in sync to within a second or so, but two of the machines
system clocks have drifted significantly, one by 15 minutes, and one by 25
minutes. The third one is within a second of its hardware clock. All three
machines have been sitting idle over the 3 days.
What could cause the linux system clock to drift so significantly?
Any suggestions would be helpful, however it is not practical to install
networked time sync systems such as NTP on these machines as they don't have
net access.

It�s fdisk v2.9t and the HD is made by yast 1.01 (Suse Distribution 6.2).
The thing i�m concerned about is that i�ve created the partitions with linux�
fdisk.

Just to add to the list. I have used the KDE mailer ( kmail ) and that works fine.
I use GNOME so ideally I would rather use a GNOME app. I have just switched over
to one called spruce. It works good also. Both are similar to Outlook Express. For
GNOME
there is also one called Balsa but I tried that and did not like it.

A warning isn't an error. LC_ALL=C should help.
