I would use CRT with vt220 emulation - close but not quite. There's a
terminfo entry 'crt' in ncurses 5.0 (http://www.clark.net/pub/dickey/ncurses).
The fewer things you customize, the simpler it is to maintain.

screen inherits the environment's $TERM, and modifies it. you can override
some features, e.g., this is what I have in my $HOME/.screenrc on a Solaris
box:
time
terminfo * setaf:\E[3%p1%dm
(this is in the man-page, but it is not presented well)

Subject: Replace Netware with Linux
Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2000 11:18:28 -0700
I have a single Netware 3.2 server that I want to replace with Linux.
The Netware server is providing the following services to about 100
clients:
- Basic File and Print
- IPX and IP Routing for 4 cable segments
- Drive Mappings to Netware Volumes and NT Shares via login script
- Tape backup of the Netware volumes
- Default route to our internet gateway machine (Linux)
Does anyone know of a paper that describes the overall procedure and
possible pitfalls of this conversion process? Any thoughts on the
best distribution to use for this?
Thanks,
Ken Long

I haven't used WINE, so I won't comment on it.
I'm currently using VMWare to run a virtual NT machine on RedHat 6.1.
So far, I'm pretty impressed. Everything runs (well, as well as
anything runs on NT), and performance is plenty acceptable (I'm on a
667MHz Pentium III). Having worked on virtual environments in a
previous life at Apple, I can attest to the difficulty of the problem.
The folks at VMWare seem to have done a fine job.
You can download vmware for evaluation from http://www.vmware.com. It's
the full product, the license just expires in 30 days. I'm happy enough
with it that I'll be shelling out the bucks at the end of the evaluation
period.
Good luck.

Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2000 15:20:53 -0700
When you run into this kind of problem with a package manager, in my
opinion, it's time to update to the latest stable version of the entire
distribution. (currently Redhat 6.1) You could update just the rpm package,
however often times the packages you subsequently install will require
updates in many many other dependant packages, function libraries, etc.
Alternatively, you could stay with your current version of rpm, and look for
an older version of the package with the same name on an archive site.
Specifically one built on the distribution version you have so it will work
with your current version of rpm.

Pressing a letter of your choice before pressing TAB TAB will give you
all commands starting with that letter. That might also cut down the
amount of time spent by bash/zsh/whatever looking for commands in the
$PATH.

Forget the line check. If you are using a v.34 or v.90 modem,
it should be using a "reliable" mode, meaning it has error
correction. Betwee the digital input point on one modem to the
digital output point on the distant modem, there should be no
errors.
Look for serial port problems.

Subject: portsentry...multiple host.deny
Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2000 11:42:44 -0700
I have portsentry-1.0-1 running on my system doing
-atcp and -sudp monitoring. It is working fine so
far but...
The system I refer to here is a laptop with Mandrake
7.0, kernel-2.2.14, installed. When I connect up to
my university network, every 30 minutes or so there
is a net manager that scans the entire network,
checking primarily the NT systems to determine status,
pending harddrive failures, non-permitted downloads,
etc. Portsentry picks this up every time, which is
great, but it then adds to host.deny:
ALL:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
The address of the management server. Each time the
scan occurs, a new, redundant entry is added. I would
think that ONE entry would suffice. The address doesn't
change, is always the same. Is this a known deal with
portsentry? I periodically check the file so I can
delete the multiple, redundant entries. I think that
if I let it go, there would come a time when the file
would become immense, loaded with the same entry
again and again.
Is there a fix for this?

You may want to subscribe to one of the Postgresql mailing lists.
Find out more at www.postgresql.org.
I'm not sure how you logged into postgres. Your script or other login
mechanism should specify which database -- you don't necessarily want to
connect to template1. Were you using psql? If so, try 'psql aaronw'.

I installed Linux 5.1, StarOffice, Apache, etc on a Dell OptiPlex GXa.
Pretty cool products and it was fun.
Now I need to put the pc back in service on my network as it was

I deleted/recreated all my FAT16 partitions and logical drives and re-

I boot my PC and it gets about half way (right where I'm expecting
Win95 to start) through and sits on the message LI followed by a
blinking cursor.
Hmmmm...I can't help but think some element of Linux remains.
Any help would be appreciated.
My comments on Linux: very interesting, but I would have to train my

I thought about a desktop with one user, so the privileges shouldn't be a
problem.
Of course you can mess up your system with a corrupt passwd file, but I
considered this an easy way to change the login shell (and I didn't know about
the chsh command, 'cause I usually never change mine :-)

BTW, you will have to use two monitors as well.
P.S. If you are not looking at both monitors at once, you might come
along with switching resolution of one display, or use a windowmanager
with multiple desktops, like KDE, icewm, gnome, fvwm2 or so.

THe home desktop user should have access to his/her printer. Period.
THe installs in their various forms encourage to always use a user id
not root to do your tasks, but I constantly find that only ROOT can
do or complete MOST of them, even something as trivial as starting
the printer.
So I'm in X, and I've asked before how to switch to another session,
a combination of keys that indeed take me to the console or root, but
no matter what I try ALT-F7 never ever gave me back the X session,
just the trailing messages leading up that X session ( 1>2 whatever)
Or it was something like ALT-F7, I forgot already.
This su root then becomes repetitive and eventually cumbersome. What
can I use instead, how can I have another session or root logged in
in my X, and how does one get to use his own fri****n printer as self?

You don't care about configurability then?
Curious, for a Unix user.

Subject: Some decisions on Sun and Linux hardwares
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi,
I hope this isn't way off topic for this group, but I have been
pondering some acquisition of some Sun Sparcs at very attractive
prices over putting together Intel-Inside Linux systems at higher
prices. I'll be using them as servers and X stations.
I am wondering what the performance equivalent of a Linux station
with Pentium or above processor compare to a Sparc with its RISC
processor running Solaris?
At this time, I can get used Sun SParcs at lower prices than I can
get new Intel-based systems. If performance isn't a consideration, I'd
go with the lower price.

The screenshot of this server-client GUI-tool (I need
something like textbased like tar !!) looks like the
submarine of jules verne.
In my opinion a picture of a submarine is not a proper
answer to the question why tar-verify doesnt work on my
system !!
