Simple yes but if you login from various places using various
type of terminal emulations, you should be using tset(1) to
handle this.
For example, a cshell user can put the following in his .login
and be asked which terminal type to use:
if ( $?TERM == 0 ) then
setenv TERM unknown
set noglob
eval `tset -sQ -m :?$TERM $TERM`
unset noglob
set term=$TERM
endif
Well you get idea.

Unfortunately, it seems the responders are missing the point. I teach
classes in Linux, and find that this often occurs to students. The
"logout" feature of Gnome/Enlightenment breaks, and fails to log the user
out. I have not yet discovered the magic bullet to fix this particular
problem, once it occurs; (not being a programmer, I have no idea how to
make Gnome/Enlightenment more robust so that it doesn't happen). I have
found that you're less likely to encounter the problem if you never
kill X with ctl-alt-backspace, but always use the logout button,
but that's only a "casual observation".
However, I have found that if you remove all the gnome-related and X-
related files in your home directory, (I believe you have to switch
to a text "virtual terminal" to accomplish this), and then log in again,
as if you were a new user, it will start working again.

you got that wrong. 32Gb is 32*(2^30) bytes, which is
34,359,738,368 bytes.
To the OP:
1Kb = 1024 bytes (2^10 bytes)
1Mb = 1024 Kbytes (2^20 bytes)
1Gb = 1024 Mbytes (2^30 bytes)
1Tb = 1024 Gbytes (2^40 bytes)

They were always helpful and relaxed, and none ever pointed a gun,

Hi,
I have apache server running on Rhat 6.0 box, 1 flowpoint 2200 Dsl Router,
2 public IP addresses, and 2 domain names.
What I want is that by typing these 2 different domain names each time from
any web browser, it will come back with 2 different domain names' homepage
which located at /home dir with different domain subdir on linux box.
My questions are
1. by registering these 2 domain names at internic using above 2 public IP
addresses, 1 of 2 will be router IP address, another 1 will be linux box
IP address, which 1 will be the first IP address, or does not matter?
2. what will be the whole work flow starting from typing in one of these 2
domain names from any web browser til domain name resolved and its own
homepage up?
3. what kind of mapping needed to be done at flowpoint 2200 Dsl router?
the flowpint 2200 Dsl router can do port mapping, howabout domain name
mapping?
4. DNS server setup at linux box?
5. Apache server setup about virtual hosts parts by using IP-based or
named-based, or port number-based?
Detailed example files setup at each stage to resolve these 2 domain names
from web browser will be great help.
Thank you very much in advance.

If your command stays on the local filesystem, /usr is probably not included.
(try "mount" to see if /usr is on a different partition).

If your telnet is not emulating a vt220, then setting the TERM variable
to vt220 is not going to help. It will merely change which attributes
don't match the actual terminal.
There are terminfo descriptions for the Linux console and the for
the xterm used on the Linux box, and they should be copied to the
SCO box and installed.

This is the main thing. Living in a huge city is a different ball game
alltogether, and you have to take the good with the bad. Dublin doesn't
have cops running around waving guns, but then, it doesn't have a zilllion
art galleries, museums, and all ( well at least half of ) the historic Jazz
clubs. Either way, it's not really fair to compare a city of 2 million to
one of 16 million.

Has anyone heard of anything about YellowDog Linux for Mac? If it is
any good or not, or if all the applications that it says it has really
works or not.
Thanks.

I'd hide the things which those users should not see by changing the
rights and group-ids.
Do a "man mount" for instructions on mounting filesystems with certain
rights and uids, gids.

Subject: Suggestions on AMD box?
Hi.
Looking for suggestions on a good AMD based box to run Linux. What I
want is a good, LOW-cost, do-it-yourself project. What motherboard?
Sound card? Vid card? Modem (56K)? etc.??? I don't need the fastest set
up, so suggestions on using an 800MHz proc aren't the kind of thing I'm
looking for. If I can put together a 300MHz box for under $500 CDN,
woo-hoo, that's perfect. But I'm just as happy with 166MHz.
Thanks.

P.S. Sorry for the cross-posts. After posting to comp.os.linux, I
noticed there was a larger reader base in alt.os.linux, and in
comp.os.linux.misc.
