Interesting. That hasn't been my experience. Infact, you're the
first I've heard of it. Considering how much you've proven your
lack of Unix background, I'm thus inclined to believe it's little
more then a product of your posterior.

:
: You're so right. The Unix panic is much more informative, isn't it?
The last time I've had a panic on a Unix system was with FreeBSD
-CURRENT (aka, the development/beta version).
And you know what it did? It wrote a core file image to my disk for
debugging along with quite a few verbose messages in the syslog,
which upon later inspection showed the fault to have occurred in the
SCSI driver which didn't like the Zip drive. That's not great, but
at least I know where the problem is and can do something about it
(power down the Zip, for now, and file a pr).
On the flip side, my Win98 box today has decided to start locking up
for apparently, no particular reason. At one freeze, no
applications were open except the stock volume control. Hard lock,
no mouse movement, no ctrl-alt-delete, nothing. It has locked up
four times today, with so far no link between them. I suspect a
hardware failure, but that's hard to say. If you know of any
standard tools on the system that might point me what's actually
causing the problem, I'd love to hear it.
Oh, and my friend's system that lost his registry? His machine
(identical to mine) had also been locking up three or more times a
day (mine had been stable..until today). Since he reinstalled, it
"magically" has become stable again. Again, if there is any way
what so ever to actually track what the hell changed that fixed the
problem (or caused it) for future reference, I'd love to know about
it.

: message: "Windows found an error in your system files and restored a

What this machine did was run some app (I thought it was scan disk
as it looked like it from over his shoulder, but my friend was
running it, I was only checking in a bit) which might have been
"scanreg" (I didn't watch him that closely), which said it couldn't
fix the problem because there wasn't enough disk space under C: (10G
free on an 18G drive in a single FAT32 partition).
At which point it asked for "press any key to continue" or something
to that effect, and completely powered itself down.

On systems where GCC isn't a stock system tool, you'll find it in
/usr/local or /opt.
: The Solaris compiler goes into a different place altogether. When you

It depends on the Unix system, but pretty much all have the basic
functionality to list all files belonging to a package, both before
and after the package is installed. On Solaris this works quite
well:
$ pkgchk -l -d . | head -30
Checking uninstalled directory format package <sendmail> from </var/spool/pkg>
## Checking control scripts.
## Checking package objects.
Pathname: /usr/local/etc
Type: directory
Expected mode: 0755
Expected owner: root
Expected group: root
Current status: installed
Pathname: /usr/local/etc/mail
Type: directory
Expected mode: 0755
Expected owner: root
Expected group: root
Current status: installed
[....snip....]
Infact, Solaris itself is completely built by packages, so the above
list can be extracted easily from any system package. To get a
list, simply run pkginfo.
On FreeBSD, the output is a bit more concise by default:
$ pkg_info -L apache-1.3.12.tgz
Information for apache-1.3.12.tgz:
Files:
/usr/local/man/man1/dbmmanage.1.gz
/usr/local/man/man1/htdigest.1.gz
/usr/local/man/man1/htpasswd.1.gz
/usr/local/man/man8/ab.8.gz
/usr/local/man/man8/apachectl.8.gz
/usr/local/man/man8/apxs.8.gz
/usr/local/man/man8/httpd.8.gz
[....snip....]
If the package is installed, simply use the package name:
$ pkg_info -L apache-1.3.12
[...same output...]
I'm not sure the details of Slackware's package tools of hand, but
I'm sure they are similar. Even RedHat's have this functionality.
As I've mentioned, you should demand more from your software package
management system. For all useful purpose, Windows has no package
management system at all.
: It was simple enough when there was just the root directory and /usr, with
: bin, lib, and etc at each level. Now there's the root directory, /usr,
: /usr/local, /usr/share, /var, /opt, usr/opt, and God knows what else.
Again, unlike Windows, Unix trys to keep some sanity and not stick
everything into one directory. If I'm looking for a config file,
it's going to be in an etc directory...not some .ini file who knows
where. Oh...I forgot...Windows doesn't use .ini files anymore..it
uses the registry...but wait, I'm not allowed to touch that myself
or I basically void all support. Hmm, great...
But it should all be done through a GUI, right? When you show me a
GUI that can handle sendmail completely, I'll buy into them. When
you can show me a GUI that can handle Apache completely, I'll buy
into them.

Pretty much everything runs through packages (or "ports", in the
case of FreeBSD). Sure, you can bypass them if you like, but most
don't and with good reason.

Whatever, you're not worth the effort. You seem claim to have more

Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2000 07:33:48 GMT
It sounds like you are trying to to use a bootable drive. This is not
usually the best idea because the other machines probably have diffrent
hardware, Even if the processor is the same, other things like chipsets,
and other graphic cards will not work with your current settings. Even
if you try that with windows the system would likely not boot properly
if at all because they are very device dependent, You genarally need to
have diffrent settings for each machine. A theory you could use is set
up Linux on Both machines each using a diffrent partition for the root
directory and make two LILO entries using diffrent root directories, but
keeping the other mounted filesystems the same, That way you could make
system dependant changes while keeping your data. It will take some time
to impliment though. Oh yea if your XFree86 Config files are in a
mounted directory, you might want to make them shortcuts to your /etc/
directory as they will be stored on the root filesystem. The best I can
do is say, have fun :)

ON redhat systems ldconfig is run when you install rpm packages containing
libraries. This is not an automatic rpm thing but something the package
developer chooses to do or not to do.
You can use rpm with the --script option to see which scripts are run
at install time.
$ rpm -q --scripts ncurses

Apart from the fact that IP addresses are able to be allocated to a NIC, you
can allocate IP addresses to "other" devices too. I can see no reason why
one of these could not be a null NIC (phantom). The loopback address of
127.0.0.1 is automatically assigned during installation of tcp/ip.
For any ip address to be available you need to have a server installed that
can handle those addresses - Apache can, as virtual servers.

Visiting http://www.dialogic.com , I found good news that "Dialogic support
Linux".
Since I have a Voice/Fax board, I tried to get SDK(Development Kit) for
Linux but
could not find one at http://support.dialogic.com .
Is there anybody who have developed ARS/ACS(Auto Response/Calling System)
system on Linux using Dialogic Board ? I need help. Thank you

Hi,
You could check 'dmesg' (as root?) or /var/log/messages. You could also
check /proc.
Hope that helped,
Bas

Since Linux considers all removable media that's mounted as a hard drive
(just with different locations), then this could be hard. Maybe you should
just count em all up and minus 2 or 3 for the CD burner, floppy and what
ever other stuff you have

Subject: ftpd supporting ssh forwarding?
Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2000 10:05:02 GMT
I'm looking for an ftpd that supports (or doesn't prevent) ssh
forwarding of the ftp control channel. WU-ftpd 2.6.0 seems to prohibit
this (Or perhaps I screwed up). I need to be able to transfer files from
Win9x and MacOS (*nix too, of course). Any suggestions would be
welcomed. What do the gurus out there use to secure their file
transfers?
Thanks In Advance....
