Interesting. I wonder why there isn't a patent for such a device from
Honeywell in the patent database.

I assume you're talking about its technical merits. I merely dislike
solaris because of its default setup (of course a friendly sysadmin can
change that, but you have to depend on this).
e.g.
I log in on a solaris box for the first time and get dumped in csh:
host% ls --color
ls: illegal option -- -
usage: ls -1RaAdCxmnlogrtucpFbqisfL [files]
host% tar xzvf foo.tar.gz
tar: z: unknown option
Usage: tar {txruc}[vfbFXhiBEelmopwnq[0-7]] [-k size] [tapefile]
[blocksize] [exclude-file] [-I include-file] files ...
host% locate file
locate: Command not found
i press the up arrow to get my last command back:
host% ^[[A
Tab doesn't work either.
Now why does Sun give you such an awful system by default? Or have they
finally changed that in the newest version?

Hi Clay. Try setting the path in your .bashrc file...
export PATH=.:$PATH
if you want the current directory searched first or
export PATH=$PATH:.
if you want it searched last.

Subject: Linux 2.2.x, maximum open files, and apache
Date: 17 Apr 2000 15:39:33 -0500
Our webserver, which is running Debian 2.0 and the Linux 2.2.10 kernel,
keeps crashing under heaving web serving load.
The problem is that it's running out of files. From my kern.log file:
kern.log:Apr 17 15:00:01 webster kernel: VFS: file-max limit 4096 reached
kern.log.3.gz:Mar 22 18:14:21 webster kernel: VFS: file-max limit 4096 reached
How can I fix this?
Is it sufficient to just echo a larger number into
/proc/sys/fs/file-max? What's the max value of this number?

Using my fresh compiled kernel 2.2.14 gives always the following kernel
panic:
"kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k binfmt-464c, errno=8"
It's just anything wrong in the kernel config but I don't know what.
With the previous kernel everything is okay.
Is it possible to retrieve the configuration of an installed kernel?

Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2000 20:56:24 GMT
If I'm understanding your problem, I think I can help.
You want to prevent all connections to your computer except connections by
certain IPs to certain ports. This is easy enough to accomplish:
#default policy is deny
ipchains -P input DENY
#accept connections from specifed users on internal LAN
NETADDR=192.168.0.0/24 #replace this with your LAN address/netmask
ADDR=192.168.0.1 #replace this address with your IP address (the real one, not
an internal one).
ipchains -A input -s $NETADDR -prot tcp --dport ftp -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A input -s $NETADDR -prot tcp --dport telnet -j ACCEPT
# should reject port 113 cuz auth/identd hates being denied; things work better
if it's rejected instead of denied
ipchains -A input -prot tcp --dport auth -j REJECT
# if we want to forward packets not intended for this host, we need to accept
those too
ipchains -A input -d ! $ADDR -j ACCEPT
Hope this helps...

No, isn't working either !
I found the solution somewhere on the net:
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
set timeout 1
set password [lindex $argv 1]
set username [lindex $argv 0]
spawn passwd $username
expect "password:"
sleep 1
send "$password\r"
expect "password:"
send "$password\r"
expect eof
whithout the sleep command it isn't working, I don't know why.

Not to nitpick but...
1. the color flag is something that's more of a Linux thing IIRC.
2. the z flag to tar is a gnutar thing. Pure tar doesn't know it.
3. locate is there as fastfind.
Just because the commands aren't identical to your standard Linux install
doesn't mean they're wrong.

Same.. it's not a default in csh on Solaris.
> Tab doesn't work either.
Yeah, but Esc does...
Remember, this is one of the things about Unices that most of us like: The
ability to customize all of this stuff so that we can use the keys we want.
Just because their default doesn't match what you like doesn't mean it's a bad
default.
BTW, personally I hate the color coded ls output.. I like a black background (or
a transparent Eterm) and the dark blue default is hard to read... gee I guess
that default sucks because I don't like it. :)
I prefer to use the -F flag to show a * for an executeable, / for directory,
etc.
P.S. I use both Linux and Solaris every day. I like both of them, but don't
think that either one has a "better" default. I setup my system the way _I_
like it... which is what I like about Unix. I can make both Linux and Solaris
look and feel almost identical.

I feel better correcting mistakes. The term "X-Windows"
is completely incorrect, and an annoyance to the Unix
community. The sooner we stamp it out and get people using
the correct terms, that'll be one less thing confusing new
Linux users.

If you don't need to be able to subtract the start time from
the end time programmatically(i.e. you just want to look
at the results to get the elapsed time) then it should be
a simple bash or other shell script such as:
#!/bin/bash
date >starttime
make bzImage
date >endtime
Don't forget to chmod +x to make it executable and run
it from the top level source directory of the kernel
you are compiling as in:
./mybenchmark
Then just cat the 2 time files to see the times.

This would depend on the amount of memory you have in your system. For
example if you have 64 Megs of physical memory you would divide that by
4 and then multiply whats left by 256 which should be reasonable and
will give you 4096 so in this case you would need to increase the
physical memory in your system first.
64/4=16 16*256=4096
Once you figure the max-files your system can handle then you would
raise the max-inode by multiplying the max-files by about 4.
4096*4=16384
You could echo it as shown below and then so that you don't have to
re-enter these figures every time you boot the system you could add them
to /etc/rc.d/rc.local
echo "4096" > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
echo "16384" > /proc/sys/fs/inode-max

All our suggestions probably didn't work because you can't start typing
the password until the 'passwd' program expects you to start typing.
That's probably why removing 'sleep 1' breaks the above script...

I don't know why but after starting a xgalaga session (an old game)
and then quitting (shift-q command) I always can see a few xgalaga
processes that remain in my processes list. See part of my last output
to "ps ux" command (I extract some columns):
USER PID %CPU %MEM STAT START TIME COMMAND

arlan 20264 0.0 3.2 R 18:42 0:00 ps ux
I'd like to kill all xgalaga's process once. The command "ps ux | grep
'xgalaga'" can extracts these process but how could I extract PIDs and
pipe then to a "kill -9" command? The cut -f2 -d" " command don't work
to me.
Thanks in advance,
Arlan
