I am using vgetty for answering machine purposes. Can it be a
replacement for mgetty ie is vgetty is superset of mgetty or is it
different for this purpose?

I got the same problem as a user on a SuSE 6.0 system -- although the
player works perfectly for root. Needless to say, I will not be running
as root just to get RA streams.
Jim, and I'm pretty sure it's not a perms problem.

I do it every day running 20+ tracks of digital audio all the while
running real time fx and mixing down to 2 track DAT.
I use Digital audio cards that are unsupported by Linux and seeing as
they can't even get a SoundBlaster Live to work properly, most likely
never will be.
Never crashes...

Thanks for the tip, it worked out great, no more unreadable fonts. And
thanks to the other poeple who replied, I appreciate it. I also used the

AFAIK, with the standard syslogd there is no way to send *just* ipchains
stuff to its own file. However, you can send all kernel messages to a
separate file (this is really what is happening). /etc/syslog.conf:
kern.* /var/log/klog
*.info;mail.none;news.none;authpriv.none;kern.none /var/log/messages
then restart syslogd. Most of my klog here is actually ipchains with
occasional other stuff thrown in. YMMV.

I am suddenly having the same problem also, driving me nuts (using Redhat

and gnome). I have been told that gnome may be part of the problem, so I
may try kde, but I would love to know what is wrong.

What is this "ext2" image file thing? It is possible to create a CD with
an ext2 filesystem on it, but if you want a bootable CD, you'd be much
better off using ISO9660 with Rock Ridge extensions. This is what you'd
do:
mkisofs -b BOOT.IMG -c boot.catalog -r -T -o cdimage.iso BLAH
BOOT.IMG is a floppy image, usually 1.4M in size, that contains a Linux
kernel and probably an initial ramdisk. You can read the Bootdisk-HOWTO
to find out how to create such an image;
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO.html
BLAH is the path to the file tree you wish to put onto the CD. mkisofs
has other options to exclude certain files/directory trees, or merge
images, or... read the man page to learn all about it.
Once you've done all that, put a blank CD into the CD-RW and do a
cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=/dev/sg0 cdimage.iso
adjusting the speed and dev parameters to your hardware. HTH,

Turn off Java and try again. The JVM that ships with UNIX netscape is

Hmmm, IPv6? That might have started when I installed Sendmail Single

doing the modprobe.

Agreed, with the Windows version of Netscape (4.72), it works fine.
