Subject: Memory limits in RedHat 5.2
Date: 13 Apr 2000 17:02:23 GMT
We're running RedHat 5.2 (kernel 2.0.36) on a PC with 512 meg RAM.
Linux only recognizes 256 meg, however.
I found a tip on dejanews about putting
append="mem=512M"
in lilo.conf. I did this, rebooted, and Linux still only sees 256M.
The BIOS recognizes all 512M.
Is there any way to get this system to recognize all the memory,
or am I looking at an OS upgrade?
TIA,
-Jason

It's entirely possible, but what is that garbage you posted? Source code
is plain ASCII text. There's no need to encode it in any way. Fix your
newsreader. I think you meant to say something like this... (coded in
haste and with no taste!)
#include<stdio.h>
#define TRUE 1
#define FALSE 0
#define NUMCHARS 16
int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
int i, j, c[NUMCHARS], flag;
FILE *ifp;
for (i = 1; i < argc; i++)
{
ifp = fopen (argv[i], "rb");
flag = FALSE;
while (flag == FALSE)
{
for (j = 0; j < NUMCHARS; j++)
{
c[j] = getc (ifp);
if (c[j] == EOF)
{
c[j] = 0;
flag = TRUE;
}
}
for (j = 0; j < NUMCHARS; j++)
printf ("%02x ", c[j]);
for (j = 0; j < NUMCHARS; j++)

I posted a bug report on the KDE site about half a year ago, but either
their bug-tracking mechanism is broken or they are too busy writing KDE-2
to care about this problem. (Patching 200+ customer systems is not funny
either.)
You need to change the sources of kioslave (in the kdebase sources, under
the kfm directory) as follows, to get the desired behaviour :

Subject: understand system calls !
Date: Thu, 13 Apr 2000 20:32:24 +0200
hello everybody,
I am studying the system call mechanism and I don't understand.
To explain my problem, let's take the fopen example :
in the kernel sources, I found a function sys_open(...) in the file
/fs/open.c
from the glibc sources, I found the file fopen.c
I suppose that starting from fopen.c we should arrive to sys_open(..),
probably through an interrupt somewhere to switch into kernel mode.
well, from fopen.c, I found a call to __stdio_open(...) that is in the
file /glibc/sysdeps/generic/sysd-stdio.c
in __stdio_open( ...) there is a call to __open(...) and here is what I
don't understand. I found a few implementation of __open(...) in glibc,
but none of them seem to bring me any further. They contain only few
lines of code, mainly calls to va_list(...), va_arg(...) ...
Can anybody help me please ? and what are va_list(...), ...
thank you !

Take a look at 'htpasswd'
$ htpasswd /somewhere/passwd username
It will then prompt you for the password, just like the regular UNIX 'passwd'
command.

Subject: FTP config in Red Hat 6.1
Date: Thu, 13 Apr 2000 13:44:50 -0500
Greetings all,
I'm having trouble with logging into my linux box remotely using
FTP. When I try to log in from a remote computer (using my linux IP and
regular username/pass on port 21), the FTP client gets stuck at 'trying
the connection'...from there it goes no further. When I try to FTP to
localhost from my linux box, I get a 'service not available, remote
server has closed connection.' All of the literature I've read says that
the ftpd should be installed and listening on port 21 from my initial
Red Hat 6.1 installation. And wu-ftp is installed. I've checked the
inetd.conf file and the appropriate ftp line is included (i.e. ftp
stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd -l -a). I also checked
the /etc/services file and FTP is listed as being on port 21. I simply
can't figure out why it is not working! Are there any initial
configuration steps that I need to take before I can start using the
service? Any help with this matter is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance to all those who reply :-)

Looks like the filesystem and basic system files were corrupted,
boot from floppy and rescue mode (the disk image is in the CD)
and then run e2fsck -f again, just to make sure.
Then re-install the basic system, dont worry about the applications.
If you are not sure what to install, just do a install without
choosing the applications, but dont do "upgrade", choose "install".

If the user did the right thing of putting Lilo on the boot
sector of the ext2 partition instead of MBR of the 1st harddisk,
NT bootloader can boot the linux partition without problem.
Otherwise, Lilo cannot boot NT because they use a strange chain-boot
method that make it diffcult for anyone to install O/S that is
not from MS.
Fdisk /mbr might work until NT, but it might not recreate the NT
MBR that run the bootloader. If you format a floppy under NT,
it will boot and run the NT bootloader. However, if you copy
the floppy boot sector and write it back to the hard disk - it
wont work.
The best chance is to use the emergency recover floppy to fix it,
if the fix program does not crash (it crashed on me couple of times).
There are a few other bootloader can boot NT and all other OS
without the NT bootloader, I recommend GNU GRUB. You can try System
Commander, though it is easy to install but hard to config.

Looks like you haven't heard of the Windows Registery.
Applications run by mere users on NT systems can modify the
Registery. Some improper registery settings can bring down
that application and possibly others relying on the changed
settings. How does one prevent improper Registery settings
while allowing applications run by non-admin users to store
settings from one session to the next?

There's a program called htpasswd which comes with Apache, IIRC,

When I use Injoy it was just a ppp dialer, anyway.
Linux perspective:
Licq were not written to support socks5 proxy, though you can
./configure --enable-socks5 during compiling licq, there are
a few other environment settings you need to enable, follow
the instructions in the socks5 client manual.
This is assuming Injoy firewall is socks5 compatible, which
is an application level firewall. The info on Injoy is a bit
lacking, so if it is a packet filter, you might as well trash
it and install Linux on the firewall and then run socks5
or Dante (socks5 compatible). You can save lots of money too.
OS/2 perspective:
It would be better to run OS/2 as a client, especially when you
have to deal with networking with connection to the internet,
you get full control and full set of internet tools under Linux.
It has been said a lot of times from everyone: the best way to deal
with things like icq behind a firewall is to use a socks5 proxy.

You should put lilo in the boot sector of Linux partition.
You can try booting NT with a NT formatted floppy,
it will activate the bootloader and chain-boot NT, then
open a command prompt in NT and try the fdisk /mbr trick.
I am not really sure if you can use lilo to boot NT when
NT is on partition 1, but other than partition 1 on the
1st hd is not possible becauze NT need to chain-boot from
the NT bootloader - a pain in the backside.
Another way is to use the emergency recover disk which you
created during NT install.
Try a different bootloader: GNU GRUB,
Grub can boot NT, Linux and many many OS and has a menu
interface.
