Okay,
I threw that last part on there to get your attention. Sorry. Since
you're here, how about taking a stab at my question???
I have an Acer Aspire (don't ask me why) desktop with SuSE 6.4 running
linux kernel 2.2.14. I'm perfectly happy with everything (well, my
Canon Bubble Jet BJC-5000 doesn't work); however, I can't seem to get my
second serial port to work.
As it stands, I have my serial modem on winbloze COM port 3 or
/dev/ttyS2 (to you and me). That runs just fine (obviously since I'm
posting this). However, I'm trying to hotsync my Palm V which uses COM
1 (in winbloze). Linux, however, doesn't know that it's even there (it
seems). I have tried to manually set up the port using "setserial
/dev/ttyS0 uart 16550 irq 4(3)" and NOTHING.
Now I know this port exists, but why can't I get it to work????? Any
help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance. D*MN, I LOVE LINUX!!!!!!!!! (except for the
whole serial port thing). By the way, I should mention that there's no
separate serial card. The serial ports and all are on the motherboard.

It sounds like you did a fresh installation of RH 6.2, right?
Make sure you have the telnet daemon loading in /etc/inetd.conf.
Restart inetd with "killall -HUP inetd"
Also make sure that localhost has access in /etc/hosts.allow
Just add the line:
ALL:127.0.0.

Subject: Server Swap Questions
Date: Fri, 02 Jun 2000 17:36:13 GMT
Hi, I have a question about setting up a swap partition on a small web
server. The machine in question is:
Dual P233MMX
200 megs ram
2 9.1gig Seagate Cheetah hard drives (mirroring each other)
I'm running RH6.1 with all the updates and patches, latest Apache,
MySQL with a couple of fairly small databases. There's a fair bit of
scripting (CGI, PHP3) going on, scattered amongst 100 or so users who
have their sites set up here. Also, there is a real server for
streaming audio/video clips. We're just getting started up, so I
don't have any kind of site traffic numbers, but with a setup like
this, is it worth it to have a seperate swap disk? I have a 2 gig
SCSI 2 disk sitting here doing nothing that I could put in as swap, if
it would be needed. Any advice anyone has would be appreciated. Or,
as I'm not oppossed to reading, if you had any sites I should check
out, that would also be appreciated. Thanks.
Doug Berner
