Those are jed options from the default example. It might be wise to check
'man pico' and possibly use something more like this:
set editor_command "pico +%d -t %s"

Better ensure that it works with the Lynx characterbased web browser,
otherwise you've eliminated _all_ the small non-X distributions.

Add in SSL security or something as good to ensure that the lusers
don't reconfigure my system, or that some craker d00d doesn't open up
my system to his pals, and maybe I'll go for it.

It's OK, but not 'universal'. It'll work for most commercial
distributions (i.e. the big market ones), but will not be very usefull
for the small distributions.
> Any suggestions?
Stick with a character-based command-line tool for the minimum system.
You can embellish it with shell scripts or perhaps some scripting
language (TCL or Perl or Python or Java) control, but it should be
something that a bare-bones system can run. It should not depend on
network connectivity, advanced GUI functions, or elaborate
configuration databases (which might not be available or might break).
Stay as far away as possible from the "single point of failure". Make
the user interface reasonable and the programming interface dead
simple. Provide lots of documentation. Don't assume anything but the
basic tools. Build it on what ever platform you choose, but _test_ it
on things like LRP or tomsrtbt. When it can run properly on a
nano-linux, then it will be a usefull general purpose tool.
Otherwise, restrict your platform to some common subset (i.e. RedHat
and derivitives), and make it as elaborate as can be done on that
platform. But be aware that you can't do both.

For what it's worth, I am having the *exact* problem with my 2 NIC setup.
The only exception is that my problem is reversed.
I'm connected to the internet with eth1 and my internal network with
eth0. Whereas you ARE able to access the internet on your eth0 and NOT
your internal network on your eth1, I CANNOT access the the internet on
eth1 but can access my internal network on eth0.
With the exception of the switch, are configurations are identical. Ping
results are identical and traceroute results are almost identical (I don't
get the multiple interfaces error, but I do get the *'s)
Is it possible that there is a problem with the configuration of our
NICs. It looks like we can both access our networks assigned to eth0 and
cannot recieve packets on eth1.
Any help from the "gurus" would be appreciated.

Not sure exactly, but this is an example of what I use in .forward to run

Is webs = webs ? I.e., if I create user "webs" on machine A, the system
assigns a UID corresponding to "webs". If I create user "webs" on machine
B,
is the UID assigned on B the same as that assigned on A? I don't believe
the header entry for owner stores the character string "webs", only the UID,
which could correspond to a different user (or no user) on a different
machines.

If you are using the modular network drivers there is a fair
chance that 'rmmod drivername'
followed by 'insmod drivername' and 'ifup devicename'
will wake it up. This does seem like an odd problem, though.
I don't think I've ever seen it with either Netgear or Intel NICs
and Cisco 10/100 switches.

This is not a bad arrangement. It will let you completely replace

while keeping your own work and custom add-ons in the /home

Subject: A strange netscape problem. Bus error for some users only
Date: 15 May 2000 22:53:26 -0700
Hi,
I'm running a generic slackware 7.0 release, with the Netspace
Communicator 4.7 that came with it, and things were fine for quite awhile.
I have 3 users, call them A, B, and C with successive uids. A, B were
created right off the bat when I installed, C a little later.
B doesn't use netscape much, but did a few weeks ago and
netscape didn't work. I didn't pay much attention at the time, but today
B still couldn't use it so I looked a little deeper. What I've found is
that A and C can still can use netscape with no problem, but B can't.
I tried moving B's .netscape directory so that it would be like an initial
netscape invocation with the licensing agreements popping up, uh uh, didn't
get that far. I tried restoring B's complete directory tree from an
archive of Jan 1,2000 (when I believe netscape work), no go. I tried
creating new users and netscape wouldn't work for them! But it works for
A and C (and C is 'newer' than B). Normally I click an icon on the desktop
for netscape but I tried invoking it from an xterm window as 'netscape &',
and did a ps -a, and after a second or two it quit with a bus error. So
I tried invoking it from within the gnu debugger, gdb, and found that it
got a segmentation fault in a call to vfprintf. I put a breakpoint at
vfprintf and it works OK maybe 20 times then has the problem. Now, one of
the most common sources of segmentation faults is passing a bad pointer to
functions like vfprintf so I assume that's what's happening. I don't have
the source to netscape and the binary is stripped, so I can't get too
much into debugging. But why only some users and not all? Anybody ever
seen anything like this? Anybody got any ideas.

My critique is focussed on an anti-democratic position taken by your
government, and the bigoted positions taken by yourself and some others
in this thread. If I defend the scientologists right to free religion
and association, then clearly I must be speaking for scientology. A
victim of their plot. And maybe you're right. But we could replace the
scientologists with quite literally any other out-group, and my argument
would remain unchanged.
In truth, I could care less about scientology. There are certain rights
of the individual that must be protected from the prejudices of others.
Among them are religion, and free association. You can be as intolerant
as you wish. I do not object to your right to demonize and vilify
scientology, or anyone else for that matter. What I reject is the right
of the german government to codify that bigotry into law.
> Don't forget Germany's got laws against concentration of press market

The U.S. doesn't have a history where half of the country was subject to
state controlled media less than 12 years ago, and the other half has
been forced to live with, and accept, severe restrictions on speech for
the last 50 years. Never mind the U.S., I'll wager that there are more
media outlets in california alone than in all of germany combined.
As for what I think of scientology...
I'm no advocate of any religion, and I happen to think that there is a
strong political interest in keeping groups like that marginalized. I
also think that strong political interests recognize better than most
that it's easier to marginalize someone when you FUD them at every
opportunity.

Here's the spreadsheet (and a load of other stuff too):
<URL:http://anc.ed.ac.uk/~stephen/emacs/ell.html>
To make a presentation for my programming classes I always use Emacs to
edit LaTeX files...
In StarOffice there isn't even a built in web browser or programming
language or email reader or news reader or... or C mode (!) or C++ mode
or SGML mode...

Subject: Re: Netscape Crashing Problems
Date: Tue, 16 May 2000 06:59:14 GMT
I got the following info from RedHat's support site:
There is a problem in one of the installation RPMs that is causing many
systems to not have a complete list of fontpath for X to use.
Try adding the 75dpi scaled font to your path list using the command:
chkfontpath --add /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi
If Communicator exhibits consistent problems on pages containing Javascript,
check your ~/.mailcap file, and remove this line if it is in that file:
application/x_javascript;;\
x-mozilla-flags=save
Hope this helps.
Pax,
JJ

Hello,
I own an Acer TM 505T and I'm getting this message. The hard disk
suddenly "disappears", and obviously nothing works any longer. Has
anyone encountered this problem? Is this a hardware problem of my
notebook, or something I should expect with Acer notebooks in general?
Thank you for your suggestions,
Guido =8-)
