You are missing the as86 package. On current RH, this is in the dev86
rpm. IIRC, older versions used bin86.

Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2000 23:33:37 GMT

I am sorry I didn't make my question clear.  What I really want is users
who have their account on a windows NT domain can logon (physically at the
terminal) to the linux machine.  I can get them authenticated by pam_smb,
but I don't know how to set up a home directory for them.  What I need is a
way that when they logon to the linux machine it will automatically mount a
smb shared filesystem specified by a directory share and then their user
name.  For example user joe would login:

Login: joe
Passwd: 46dks0k (normally not shown of course

then their home directory on the linux Client would be /home/joe but the
login program would call smbmount with their username and password and the
directory share and mount it on /home/joe.  I hope I've been a little
clearer.  Again I appologize for the cloudiness of the first question.

If you didn't include the loopback device in your kernel you would
remove the initrd line from the /etc/lilo.conf and read below for what
to do to correct for no loopback device.

   initrd=/boot/initrd-x.x.xx.img  # where x.x.xx is new kernel version.

If you included the loopback device in the kernel then you would create
the initrd.img as follows.

 /sbin/mkinitrd /boot/initrd-x.x.xx.img initrd.img

If you didn't include the loopback device in the kernel then you would:

cd /boot/
 ln -fs System.map-x.x.xx System.map

Be sure to update lilo before reboot with:

 /sbin/lilo -v

Subject: Can I use an updated Java for Linux with Netscape Communicator v4.7?
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Sun, 26 Mar 2000 02:07:03 GMT

As you can tell by the subject line, I've got an updated version of the
JRE (Java Runtime Environment) from http://java.blackdown.org (version
1.2.2, to be exact), and wonder if I could use it with Netscape Communicator
v4.7? I've been experiencing a lot of problems with any Java applet loaded
via Netscape, and am getting tired of making Linux look bad in front of my
Windoze using friends. Here I am expelling its virtues, and they get to see
Netscape crash and burn when trying to load a simple Java applet on a site
they want me to see :<

As an aside;

When I run the 'java' binary, I get the following error;

/usr/local/jre1.2.2/bin/java: /bin/realpath: No such file or directory
/usr/local/jre1.2.2/bin/java: /bin/realpath: No such file or directory
java was not found in /bin/i386/native_threads/java

I presume it has something to do with the following portion of the
.java_wrapper file;

===< Cut >===
APPHOME=`dirname "$PRG"`/..
JREHOME=$APPHOME/jre

# Where is JRE?
unset jre
if [ -f "${JREHOME}/lib/${proc}/libjava.so" ]; then

but have no idea how to use the Bash scripting language in order to fix it.

None of the above have anything at all to do with setting a user's
PATH variable at login time.  Each of the above scripts is run by
the init process as the system boots or at other times when the
run level is changed, and each PATH set affects *only* the execution
of that script or subshells exec'd from that script.

I do not use RedHat, so I'm not positive just how your system
might be configured.  The most common configuration is that
/etc/profile adds to or sets the default PATH variable.  Some
users may want to reset it with ~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile or
~/.bash_login (see the bash man page section on INVOCATION for
more information).  The significant point is that all of these
files are executed one time, at login only, for an interactive
shell.

The initial PATH variable setting comes from either login, su,
telnet, or whatever other means is used to initiate a login
shell.  The default /etc/profile might either add to that
(see the man pages for each program for details on what is
set initially) or may be used to set PATH rather than add to
it.

files (bytes), has no trouble seeing anything over 10kb or so.

Has anyone run into similiar problems with the netapp and linux nfs clients?  I've 
mounted a NFS'd partition from a separate linux machine and the readir function works 
well, so it seems to be a problem with the netapp's implmentation of nfsd.

Let me know.

Subject: LICQ file receive using InJoy FireWall for OS/2 Warp 4
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Sun, 26 Mar 2000 02:39:58 GMT

As the subject implies, I'm trying to receive files via LICQ with a NAT'ed
IP address. I'm currently using LICQ v0.76 (and am currently compiling
v0.80), and go through the InJoy Firewall software for OS/2 Warp 4 via
a shared cable modem.

I can typically send files without problems, but can't receive files. Does
anybody know how I could setup LICQ and/or the InJoy firewall to allow file
transfers through to my IP?

I'd really love to be able to do this without shelling out mega-bucks to 
'that cable company' for a couple of extra IP addresses.

Any help is appreciated! TIA!

Subject: fdisk not seeing "partition table" during redhat installation
Date: Sun, 26 Mar 2000 02:30:08 GMT


Hi,

I'm getting the following error during redhat installation (during both
the "text" and "expert" install mode).

/-----------------------------------------
FDISK Error:
An error occured reading the partition table for the block device data hda.
The error was:  No such file or directory.
\-----------------------------------------

Here is some background information:
The machine is a Pentium 100 with 20Gig Maxter harddrive and Phoenix Bios
(Ver:4.05.23  Date:12/14/98).
Initially the harddrive was devided into two partitions (10Gig each) and 
Windows 98 SE was installed.

Then using Partition Magic 4.0's "Prepare for new operating system" option
I've resized the existing partitions (to 6.3 and 6.1Gig) and created a new
partion for Linux (7Gig).

At this point PartitionInfo looks like this:
========================================================================
Volume     PartitionType   Status     Size MB  PartSect  #    Status
========================================================================
C:DISK1PART01   FAT32       Pri,Boot  6378.7   0         0    Active
*:Linux         Linux Ext2  Pri       6998.9   0         2    None
*:              ExtendedX   Pri       6090.8   0         1    None
D:DISK1PART02   FAT32       Log       6090.8   27397440  0    None
========================================================================


Then I set the Linux partition as "Active" and started the linux 
installation. Everything goes fine until the fdisk phase (ofcourse -
it's not much until this point).
Then the fdisk gives the above error. For some reason, it's not seeing
the "partition table".

Did anyone face this problem before and know what to do about this ?
I really appreciate your help on this.

Thanks.

Keep the two DOS/windoz partitions as they are and delete the linux
partitions you will use this free space to install linux into and create
the linux partitions during the install.

Hello all,

If you want do something like this:

from the command line, not from a script, how do you seperate the lines ?

Thanks,
Doug
