I have a couple of SCO servers that I periodically have to log into for
administrative tasks, and I'm having a couple of problems relating to
using Linux to do these tasks.
When I log into the SCO machines, I do so in the following way:
xterm -tn scoansi -e telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
xterm -tn ansi -e telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
I fire up an Xterm and set the environment variable to what I thought was
appropriate.
What I notice when I attach to the SCO machines is that hitting backspace
does not backspace at all, in fact it puts me on a brand new command
line. In other words I have to insure I've put the command properly
otherwise I have to start from scratch, I cannot edit mistakes. Not fun
when you don't have any command history and you have to type 'ps -e -o
pcpu,comm,pid,user | grep blah' constantly.
When I try to fire up Scoadmin (A visual administration tool), I get the
following error as well.
dynamic linker : xm_vtcld : error opening libXm.so
At this point scoadmin goes to a defunct state, and I have to login on a
new session and kill the old one. Any ideas on what's causing the
problem. Has anyone gotten this to work.
I'd really appreciate any assistance.
Thanks,
Brian Seppanen

It sounds like a timezone issue to me. Your software clock may be interpreting
the hardware clock as UTC, and decrementing the local time shown by your
timezone offset. Are you by chance in the EST5EDT timezone?

Is there any other way to fix a corrupted linux partition, other
than using fsck? When i was installed Mandrake 7.0 after installation
proceess directories was corrupt. I ran fsck on the partition (/dev/hda6)
but I got the following:
fsck.ext2: Attemp to read block from filesystem resulted in
short read while trying to open /dev/hda6
Could this be a zero
length partition?
The partition table is fine.
I'll try even:
e2fsck -b 8193
but it isn't work.
Pls help me,i'm DJ and i'll lost all of my records... :(

1) System settings are well documented , and easy to read/change - they are
in text files. Not burried deep in "registries" with no documentation
2) The OS will boot and let you do things so long as a kernel can be loaded
by lilo. Like when some of your partitions are totally destroyed...
Windows: at the slightest change, it craps it's load.
3) You have a choice as to whether you want the GUI or not : Linux does not
_need_ the gui to get it's work done. various servers ( daemons) will still
run so long as their start up script is called.
4) You have a choice on which GUI you want to work with (Desktops) . And you
can customize the system to your heart's content.
5) Linux is not a "Monkey see monkey do" OS . You have to know what you're
doing when messing around with it's internals . Fortunately for me ,
Linux has proven to be capable enough to boot up and let me fix problems
caused by my own fiddling !
Windows : don't even go there...
6) Linux : Bugs get found and are fixed sometimes in a matter of hours.
Windows : Bugs ? What bugs ?... Oh, that! That's a feature, silly!!
7) If linux is your gateway and you are setting up the XWindows system for
the graphics card , you can change settings and restart the windowing system
untill you are happy with the settings, and all the while the 30 or so
people using the gateway are blissfully unaware that you are tinkering with
it : All you have to do is mess with X . The _computer_ is _not_ rebooted
WIndows : "Your changes will not be effective utill the computer is
restarted.Would you like to restart now ? [YES] NO " after each minor
change. And to hell with the 30 people using this computer as a gateway.
I'm out of time , but I'm sure there are more reasons...

Hi Peter. I wasn't really aware of this before. What you're saying
is if I don't want a separate partition inside the 1024 and had like
a FAT32 with Win9x on C: all I have to do is copy the kernel and
some boot files to the FAT32 partition?
My setup is fine and it's not an issue but I'm just curious.
The "boot" and "image" lines for example if Win9x was
on the first EIDE drive on the first primary partition would
be something like
boot=/dev/hda1
image=/vmlinuz
or what?
TIA

This also happened to me - with the rpm's from rawhide...
The easiest thing to do is:
Make copies of /etc/X11 and /usr/X11R6 and store them in a
very, very safe place!
Empty /usr/X11R6, remove /etc/X11/XF86Config
Get the source files: You'll need X400src-[123].tgz. Unpack
them on a directory on a filesystem with plenty of space.
make World
make install
Now you have XFree 4.0 :-)

Hi,
I have a question regrading RedHat 6.2.
1. Is RH6.2 standard / Professional and the RH 6.2 Enterprise Edition
is the same ?
2. RH 6.2 EE has 64 bit file i/o, direct raw i/o, can access more than
2GB file in size, can process size to 3GB. Is all this feature has
in RH6.2 standard kernel ?
3. Is there other distribution has this kind of capability ?
4. Will RedHat release the above features in their regular
distribution. ?
5. I think that all this feature is kernel related. Is there where
I can download such kernel ?
6. Is there any place where I can download this RH6.2 EE ?
7. Do RedHat sell this RH6.2 EE without support option.
Basically I have a customer who running Oracle 8i and need the kernel,
but for more that USD3,000.00, I'm not sure wheather to wait for the
other distribution to put the same feature in their distribution or
buy one.

Actually, pardon me for being anal, but rc.6 is reboot. rc4 is X login.

Installed, uses the built-in network card (3c509 driver), Sound Blaster

BTW it's used as a file/print server, dhcp server for a mixed

Ordinarily, a non-root user can only ftp to a directory for which
that user has appropriate permissions. That should only include
the user's home directories and various tmp directories.
You could of course change permssions on the tmp directories
so oridnary users could not write there, but that would undoubtedly
disrupt a lot of normal program functions. And I'm not sure
exactly why you would want to do it.
If users other than root can now write to other directories than
those mentioned above, there is something wrong.

StarOffice Can handle Microsoft word files. (also excel and maybe some
more). You can also save files as Word documents.
It's free to download. http://www.sun.com/staroffice/ . But if you have
a bad connection you can buy it in the store. It will be about $40,-
(You can better buy the new Suse 6.4. It's the same price and it has
also plenty of stuff and tools and a complete new kernel.
If you want to download something else quick you can read the other
replies to your message.
(PS. It's very very very very very easy to handle if you compare it to
that weird Ms Office)

why? he already has his existing drive partioned. Just deleting one

Or can't M$ even copy stuff from one partition to another?

OK, that's reasonable. I'm actually in the Central time zone. Another post
mentioned that my headers indicate GMT which adds credence to the timezone issue.
I did a man -k zone and found the tzselect command. After running through that,
it said "America/Chicago" is the correct zone parameter. I then placed that

Check your man pages. At least w/ wuftpd ftp daemons,
'man ftpaccess' may interest you -- see the 'guestgroup'

1. sed -e "/Reinitialization/,/P=3/d" file > file.new
