Subject: Linux Programming help needed
Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2000 01:14:20 GMT
hello all,
I am developing a webmail system on linux. I need to add a user into the
system by cgi(written in GNU C), of course, I executed useradd program
and passwd, the problem occurred when I tried to send the password to
passwd using a pipe. my program goes like this
pipe_out = popen ("passwd username", "w");
fprintf (pipe_out, "password\npassword\n");
pclose(pipe_out);
but passwd said "conversation error". anoy way it doesn't work. So
anyone know how to handle this kind of problem? or in an alternative
way to work the task out.
thanks

I can't find any documentation about my recorder, it is an:
LG 8080B
I checked LG Electronics site and all they had were dos and windows
drivers. Are there any drivers for this model available? I can read from

I am fairly new to linux and would appreciate any help/suggestions. I

My dist. has niether _man_ or _at_, but the web site I used for _man reboot_
mentioned functions of _shutdown_ that I was not aware of. So much for the $80 I've
spent on books. Anyway, shutdown -h +[minutes] will work fine.

GNU is being taken advantages of left and right.
GNU won't work in the real world. Sooner or later,
developers will get tired of being exploited. They put out
their energy, efforts and hardworks with zero return, while
packagers makes millions off their free stuff.
Let's see if Alan Cox will continue coding the kernel if
he's not getting pay.
GNU is fine as long as you stay in the academia world.

Probably better solution anyway. Sorry but that should have been 'man

I scavaged a old HP 700/22 terminal from my job and i'm trying to
connect it ty my PC. I can't get them to communicate.
What i'm doing right now is to plug a female DB9 to female RJ45 serial
adapter in my PC (in ttyS1), into that I plug a normal CAT-5 ethernet
cable and plug the other end into a female RJ45 to female DB25 serial
converter that is connected to the datacomm port of the 700/22.
I've tried with both a straigth-tru (II) and cross-over (X) cables
without any success.
The comm settings are (for both), 9600,8N1,XON/XOFF(software--700/22
only support this).
To test communications, I simply use minicom, type some chars at the
keyboard and see if the same thing is echoed on the term.
Any ideas?

The Squid proxy server I set up works fine most of the time, but it will
periodically hang while trying to contact and bring up a web site. The
access.log and cache.log have no activity while Squid is hanging. The
message at the bottom of Netscape says that it has contacted the site
and is waiting for a reply (Connect: Host www.airfare.com contacted.
Waiting for reply...), but it never retrieves the page and it will not
retrieve any other page either. If I change my preferences to make a
direct connection to the Internet, the page comes up immediately. Why
is squid hanging?

According to German magazine "c't" (somewhere beneath
'http://www.heise.de/
newsticker', don't remember by heart, and unfortunately in German ),
Win2K installation does disable a pre-configured OS/2 boot manager -
not by changing it's active flag (as one would expect), BUT by
"accidentally" destroying the boot code within the partition at sector
14 or so (IIRC), NOT the boot sector.
In that note, M$ is said to explain that like this : W2K seems to
mix up that partition (ID 10/0xa, as you might know) with a FAT
partition
(ID 4,6,or 15/0xF), and tries then to synchronize the 2 FAT copies
in order to "fix" it, thus destroying the boot manager's code proper...
I haven't checked that by myself, as I have neither OS/2 BM, nor do I
plan to install/use W2K on my private machines, however.
But it's hard for me to believe that this is accidental; the explanation
doesn't satisfy me at all...
So here we are again with a rather unfriendly behaviour, isn't it ?

Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2000 03:05:28 GMT
I'm looking for a way to trigger an application to do something whenever
a directory has been modified, usually by creating a new file. For
example, somebody could add a file to a directory via NFS, FTP, SMB, or
Appleshare, and I'd like to run my app automatically. I know I can
continually scan the directory for new files, but that's rather archaic
and CPU-intensive.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Maybe you need a \n at the beginning? I don't think this will work because
passwd is interactive. It's not taking it's input from stdin.
You should take a look at the source for the passwd to see how it it adds
things to /etc/passwd.

Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2000 03:35:11 GMT
Can someone email me a copy of their DOS MBR? Mine has evidently
gotten erased from hdb during my fiddling. fdisk /mbr like to do
its work on hda and I do not want to have to rejumper my disks just
to install an MBR.
As a further explanation, I want to do this so that I can boot DOS
on hdb1. It does not seem to work if I just point lilo (or the minix
monitor on hdb2) to hdb1. I noticed that to boot redhat on hda1, the
minix boot monitor requires I point it to hd0, which is equivalent
to just hda in lilo. (Lilo of course seems ok with hda1.) It got me
thinking that maybe I should point monitor (or lilo) to hd5 (hdb).
Right now, if I point lilo to hdb1 or minix monitor to hdb6 (=hdb1),
I get "invalid system disk". Inserting a dos boot floppy works ok
and I can switch to the C: filesystem just fine. I want to do this
front the bootloaders however.

I had to do that with my Rainbow 100 from Dec using the

On the Linux side Dec Terminals
1 1 frame ground
7 7 Signal Ground
tie both 1,7 together on BOTH sides of the cable.
on the Linux side jumper 4 to 5 on the db25. that means
"I am always clear to send"
on the terminal side tie its 4 to 5 for the same reason
on the Linux side tie 6,8,20 together, same for the terminal side
these lines are
6 Data Set Ready
20 Data Terminal Ready
8 Carrier Detect
Now for the IMPORTAnt data pins
2 Transmit Data 3 Recieve Data
3 REcieve Data 2 transmit data.
Please note! you MUST have XON/Xoff set on the terminal! and possibly

Um, Geez! I have my system as a dialup shell account system!
so I guess I cannot use remote terminals by your statement.
For this I usually use agetty or the version better oriented
torwards hayes modems (getty-ps).
I have found the following from my inittab works fine. My
terminal is plugged into a multiple COM card. change the ttyS17 to
match your needs
s4:345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -Lh 9600 ttyS17 vt102
the h flag is used as I use a full null-modem adaptor. you
can drop it if you use my wiring above.
Now on my dialup lines the following works.
#d1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -mt60 38400,19200,9600,2400,1200 ttyS0
