I'm pretty sure that all over the world, there are well over 4096 serial
ports that can handle Linux :-)
>From looking at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt, there are 64
possible /dev/ttyS[0-63] devices, 32 possible ports on a Cyclades card,
and 256 possible with 4 Stallion cards or 4 CompuTone Intelliport cards. I
have a feeling you'd run out of PCI slots and/or IRQs before you exhausted
the limits there... and if you need 512 serial ports, you probably don't
want a PC!
Or did you mean "pseudo terminals" there? At kernel compile time, you can
define the number of ptys available, up to 2048. Whether you need or want
that many is another concern. We have some large, fast Sun machines here,
and they start slowing down horribly when there are more than 300 users
logged in....

Subject: Re: my login prompt ran away...
Date: Thu, 09 Mar 2000 20:30:12 GMT
Hmmm... still no login prompt. So let me go over it again....
So I turn on my computer, and it boots everything up fine [on runlevel 5],
except there is no login prompt [normally standard login, not X]. In my
/etc/inittab, it has:
# Run gettys in standard runlevels
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1
2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2
3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3
4:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty4
5:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5
6:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6
Like I said earlier, I can still telnet into it. I can login as my normal
user, switch to root, and 'startx' and it will start an X session on the
console. I also can 'sulogin /dev/console' to do a single user session, and
then startx. But I can't switch to the user account and startx because
"Authentication failed - cannot start X server. Perhaps you do not have
console ownership?"
Also, the DISPLAY isn't being set in the /etc/profile.
Thanks for your help.

Subject: best way to make BACKUP image of hard drive
Date: Thu, 09 Mar 2000 20:52:53 GMT
After I get a server tuned and running perfectly, I would like to make
an image of the disk so that if anything fails or if it gets cracked
I'll have a good starting point. I don't have any backup devices (tape
drives, cdr, etc...), only a few other win98 computers on the lan.
Could I just put the entire filesystem into a tarball and ftp it to
another computer? How would one restore this if you had to wipe out the
hard disk? Any other better solutions for a simple situation like this?

Hi Steve..
I''m running RH6.1 , Netscape 4.72 and the Datek streamer works just
fine. It's a pity though that they only support a couple of exchanges :(
After the (ridiculously) long application process I ended up going back
to Yahoo or Xquote to get at my TSE symbols.

Subject: RH6.1 cannot see my disks at all
Date: Sat, 4 Mar 2000 19:40:11 -0800
When I try to install RH6.1 on a new Pentium III with two 13.6GB Fujitsu
drives (configured with FAT32/Win98 and running fine, or as fine as Win98
runs), I get this error right at the start:
No Drives Found
An error has occurred - no valid devices were found on which to create new
filesystems. Please check your hardware for the cause of this problem.
Exception occurred
Traceback (innermost last):
File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 227, in ? intf.run(todo, test = test)
File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/text.py", line 1009, in run fc=
apply(step[1](), step[2])
File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/textw/partitioning.py", line 116, in
__cal__ todo.ddruidReadOnly)
TypeError: list of strings
I've tried using the boot-RHEA-1999:044.img installer update, but it gives
the same error.
Is this related to the FAT32 crap or what? I'm not a Linux guru, but I've
setup at least 5 boxes since RH4.2 or so, and this is the first time I've
been foiled right at the beginning.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated?

.so libraries are not built with ar(1). They are built with
ld(1), usually being invoked by gcc(1). See the GCC HOWTO
(http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/GCC-HOWTO.html) section 6.
I don't know whether it's possible to add another .o file in
this way. .so libraries are mangled in some way so that it's
not possible to turn them into their "constitutent" object
files.

You should consult the binutils info pages, not the man pages.
If the libraries have not been stripped, then you can use nm(1).
Otherwise, you are stuck with using strings(1).

the new directory is owned by a user called "309" and even as root, I
can't delete or move or do anything with this directory because it has
an invalid owner. I have to delete the entire parent directory to get
rid of it. What is going on?
If it means anything, I had to ftp the file from the postfix site to my
win client, then ftp from there to the server. When I tried getting it
directly from the ftp site, it said the file didn't exist even though I
misspelled nothing. What a bunch of retarded trash. I'm going back to

I guess that subject line says it all. I have never even seen a machine
running linux, but I have an old 486dx2 66 / 24Mb ram / 424Mb HD. I also
need to be able to run a proxy server so that I can share access to a cable
modem connection on my lan.
Questions:
1) What is the most appropriate distribution for my needs? I have heard
that Corel is designed with ease of use in mind. I know that RedHat seems
to be the most widely recognised.
2) With my non-existent experience of linux, will I be able to setup the
services that I require on my own (or perhaps, if I'm lucky, with some help
from you guys here!)?
3) Is my 486 up to the task of running this service for a lan that will
normally have just 2 computers, but may need to take up to 4.

Firstly ...
flex_rechthoek(int h, int b, char sym): rechthoek(h, b)
... and secondly even then it will be wrong, as default parameters
must be given from the right to the left and they are not inherited
either so ...
flex_rechthoek( char sym, int h = 1, int b = 1 ): rechthoek(h, b)
...
The names are a don't care here and so ...
flex_rechthoek( char sym, int foo = 1, int bar = 1 ): rechthoek(foo,bar)
... or even ...
flex_rechthoek( char sym, int foo = 32, int bar = 64 ): rechthoek(foo,bar)
... are fine.
BTW, there are some C++ groups too, so we might get beaten up having

Hiya,
I'm having problems with a device on the scsi bus occisionaly, so I'd like
to be able to force a bus or device reset manually...short of rebooting,
does anyone have an idea how to achieve this? I've looked for a possible
way through /proc/scsi/scsi, but I've not found owt (I've gone through the
scsi.c source with grep as an aid as well).
For the time being, I'm going to rebuild the kernel with the scsi driver
modularised...in theory an rmmod/insmod of the aic7xxx driver should then
do a SCSI reset...unless anyone knows any better :)
Thanks in advance,
Chris...

Even if you don't want the Suse distro, check it out. There are some
wrapper scripts that twiddle with some enviro variables, and the way
Netscape uses libs. I can't recall if I've ever seen Netscape crash on
my systems, since using Suse. Under RH it crashed a lot, and under
Slackware periodically.
