Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2000 09:26:04 GMT
I was at a LUG meeting last week someone handed me a BeOS 5.0 personal
edition CD-ROM I immediately installed in one of my Thinkpad. Me
sometimes don't read README.TXT or manuals so I did this guy said: boot
Windows 98, insert the CD, install it just like a Windows program, etc.,
which I exactly did. He didn't say anything about modems so I
configured PPP just like a Linux KPPP and dialed out using Winmodem. To
my big surprise it worked. Since BeOS supports POSIX utilities, how
come Linux vendors can't come up with using Winmodem?

Thanks. After I entered the command that you've suggested, I get this
message:
mount: /dev/cdrom: can't read superblock
fsconf is the File System Configurator for Redhat Linux, one of things you
could do with it is to mount file systems like floppy and cd-rom.

Subject: How do I mount a tar file?
From: David Steuber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2000 10:00:01 GMT
Linux supports a loop device for mounting a file as a file system. I
was wondering if I could do the following:
Have a large tar file that fills a CD.
Mount the CD as iso9660
Mount the tar file that is on the CD
Reason for doing this:
I have a laptop computer with a not so huge amount of free disk
space. I want to burn a CD with a large quantity of MP3 files for
traveling music. The file names will NOT fit in ISO9660 8.3 name
format. I also want to preserve file hierarchy structure.

Dear all,
running Linux SuSE 6.4 with kernel 2.2.14 on an i586, I have a problem that I
cannot figure out starting a piece of downloaded software. Of course I could
go ask there where I downloaded the software from, but it seems to be a Linux
peculiarity to me. Consider the following:
# ls -l http-analyze

# ./http-analyze
./http-analyze: Command not found.

Given physical access and 10 minutes, even that can be defeated, at
least on my PC.
But who needs to bother with that, when you can boot Windows, insert a
floppy with explore2fs or a similar utility, and modify /etc/shadow at
will? Linux file permissions and ownership are a joke!

most termcap implementations limit the entry to 1023 characters.
GNU termcap does not have this limit, however an application such

You can modify your .xinitrc file to contain this ... note if you

Hi,
I just had to flick the switch on my machine because of a problem which
I see occasionally. Basically, I issued a 'rm -rf' command and got a
segmentation fault. When I tried it again I got no fault but nothing
happened and control was not returned to the terminal window even with
Ctrl-C. A few seconds later my whole display hung with no way of getting
to a virtual console or flicking between virtual desktops. I was able to
log in via ssh from another machine but couldn't kill the problem rm
processes (I tried kill -9 as root). So I issued a 'shutdown -r now'
command, but nothing happened at all, I waited a while but there was no
sign it was going to reboot, so I had no option but to flick the switch.
Fortunately it didn't trash my filesystem.
Has anyone else experienced this with Red Hat 6.1? What is the correct
way to avoid it or deal with it when it does happen? What is the cause?
thanks,
- Kev

Not sure on this one. It runs fine here (version 0.5.1).
The error message comes from mfinderapp.cc (starting at line 160).
*****
// Test for lockfile
lockfilename = confdir ;
lockfile = fopen(strcat(lockfilename, ``/wmfinderlock''), ``r'');
if (lockfile == NULL) {
printf ( ``Lockfile not found! Creating... \n\n'');
lockfile = fopen (lockfilename, ``w'');
} else {
printf ( ``Lockfile found! Strange...\n\n'');
};
// fclose (lockfile); // Whether found or not found, you still gotta
close it
*****
I just ran it and it creates wmfinderlock in ~/GNUstep/Library/wmfinder/.
The first time you run wmfinder it creates that directory so that
shouldn't be a problem. Just in case maybe check the permissions on
that directory or that it even exists.

This one has been done already. It's called getpatch and allows you
to fetch patches to get you current or will just download a full

I owned S3Trio3d, it was a big pain in the ass. I could not get any
decent resolution/color depths while having it fast enough until XFree
3.3.6. You may have to read X docs (especially S3Trio3d - specific
sections), please do it before trying to tweak XF86Config, if you mess
you Modelines up, it will result in nothing but grief. However, you may
want to take S3Trio3d back to the shop, if it has a liberal return
policy and get something else (well, please, do not ask me, which card,
I am not working for any hardware company, and I do not want to promote
any of them without being paid for it, RTFM, and you'll figure it out
yourself).

You can get rpms at: http://www.ssh.org/. But these are only "free for
non-commercial use". An open-source clone called openssh is also
available and I find it to be more efficient than ssh. Rpms are
available at: http://www.openssh.com/portable.html. Get the most
recent versions:
openssh-2.1.1p1-1
openssh-server-2.1.1p1-1
openssh-askpass-2.1.1p1-1
openssh-clients-2.1.1p1-1
Openssh installs in "paranoid" mode, but the configuration
files in /etc/ssh/ can be edited.

This is overkill. Why not just burn a CD with an appropriate directory
structure and Rock Ridge or Joliet extensions? mkisofs and the Linux
kernel have supported those for a long time. You'd do something like this
to burn the CD:
mkisofs -R -J /path/to/where/mp3s/are | cdrecord -v dev=/dev/sg0 speed=4 -
Also, if you'd read the mkisofs docs, you'd know that all iso9660 CDs have
all their filenames in 8.3 format no matter what you do. It's just that
they can use the ROck Ridge and Joliet extensions to define long
filenames, UID/GIDs, symbolic links, and deep subdirectories. HTH,

printk(KERN_INFO "copied bytes=%i\n",result);
printk(KERN_INFO "given value=%i\n",value);
}
return buf_size;
}
If i write an integer value (for example: 123) in my testprogram,
i get the following output in /var/log/messages:

If evil people have physical access to your machine, you're screwed no
matter what operating system you're running--they'll just pull the plug,
remove the hard drive(s), take them elsewhere, and steal data at their
leisure. That or take a baseball bat to the box.

The very existence of Windows is a security hole, which is one of the many
reasons why you won't find it on the machines I own.
>Linux file permissions and ownership are a joke!
The file permission/ownership mechanism is so similar to that of every
other Unix-workalike in existence that you'd have to say "Unix file
permissions/ownership are a joke", and I think the Solaris, *BSD, AIX,
HP-UX, SCO, and OS X people would lock flamethrowers on you. Computer
system security is a bit of a complex topic; I suggest you go learn a few
more things about it before spouting off.

Don't worry, I thinks it's leaving space "just in case" (!)
On my box I can see five cards in Linuxconf, when I only have two. However,
only the first two have net device names (e.g. eth0 etc.) so I think it is
just space in the UI for you to add more entries.
I think....

Subject: Configuring the log file ?
Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2000 15:56:48 +0800
I need help in configuring the web server to capture certain information
into the log file . The info that I have to capture are
- type of browser used (with type of version)
- type of platform (os)
- log in time of user
The specification below , I think is not posibble but if there is any way of
capturing it too , please inform
- the users screen colour depth (example : 256 colour , 16 bit)
- screen resolution
- screen size
- country
I know that it had to be configured in the httpd.config file if i'm not
mistaken , but I don't know the parameter or how to do it . Anyway the
server (apache) runs on Linux 2.2.6 . Please help I'm still new to this and
confused.Thanks

It happens when you initialize the sound card, it's normal.
Solution #1 - Don't reboot.
Solution #2 - Turn down the volume on your speakers.

Could this possibly be bad memory?
