With a group of 25 users (locally, plus multisited VOBs) it is taking 3
of us part time to keep ClearCase running smoothly. This compared to the
effort required to maintain RCS/CVS a serious resource burden. Not to
mention things like time to recover from VOB corruption when it occurs.

Did you check the documentation? Like, say, just about *any*
distribution's user guide? Or the Linux User's Guide (an LDP guide,
which almost certainly came with your distro and should be residing
in the /usr/doc hierarchy), which answers your questions and should
be required reading for newbies? Or check Deja, and do a newsgroup
search? Or...

I'm trying to do a FTP download in the background and hang up the

it tain't working.
If I do it like this it works:
ncftpget
ftp://ftp.sourceforge.net/mounts/u4/mirrors/redhat/redhat/redhat-6.2/iso/zoot-srpms.iso
but if I do it this way:
nohup 'ncftpget
ftp://ftp.sourceforge.net/mounts/u4/mirrors/redhat/redhat/redhat-6.2/iso/zoot-srpms.iso'
it flakes with the following output in the "nohup.out" file:

but I know the files there because each time I go back and do the way
it works, it continues to work!

cdrecord does pick up the drive. I think it gives it a scsi address of

Changing to snd-card-emu10k1 vice snd-emu10k1 worked. Guess I'll
run configure again without the debug switch. From what I see in the
INSTALL documentation, ==with-oss=yes is apparently the default as they
state to use --with-oss-no to disable OSS/Free emulation.

qmail is more secure than sendmail, but it is also a little bit more

I have seen somewhere but at the moment can't remember where about a

Hi!
My mail server is running under SuSE-Linux 6.2 - now i tried to get
'vacation' to work.
vacation is answering incomming mails, but just sends empty mails
(without any subject or body) back to the sender .
It looks like vacation can not read the ~/.vacations.msg file in the
users home directory.
Setting rights to 666 did not help.
Any idea?

Hiya,
I have a Sony TSL-9000 DAT autoloader, that holds eight tapes. What I cannot
work out how to do is how to get the device to change tape. When the SCSI
is probed, it reports two luns on the device: 0, which is sequential access,
and 1, which is marked as a media changer - is there a standard way to change
tapes, or is it device specific (ie, will I have to look to Sony for a
solution?). I have a feeling I should be able to use lun 1 with ease,
but I can't find anything (yet) to do this.
Any help apprecaited :) Thanks :)

You might take a look at www.arkeia.com they have an SCSI backup

Maybe I should have said, a little harder to install, since sendmail
comes as an rpm.
I would agree with you on easier to configure.

Can you reboot the machine without causing too much trouble? It might
get recreated on reboot automatically. Read your init scripts in
/etc/init.d to find out. BTW, the files in /dev are not drivers, they
are merely special files by which the OS interacts with the drivers.
That is, when you read from /dev/mouse, you're really asking the
OS to read from your mouse's device driver in core. The particular
file in /dev that gets used is determined by the authors of the Linux
kernel and drivers.
