I have sent heads-up mails to both Supernews and chewtoy.com, and received
positive replies from both. The situation has been resolved; as already
assumed, a broken (a _really_ broken) gateway implementation was
causing older articles to be reposted with new Message-Ids and
creeatively broken headers.

This is from an Atari 1040ST running TOS? If so, possibly. TOS used
the FAT16 file system (just like MS-DOS/MS-Windows). Assuming that the
partition table is just like for PCs, then this disk will look like a
MS-Windows FAT16. The only remaining gotcha is the geometry.
*Normally* SCSI disks don't have a geometry (the SCSI controller
'invents' a geometry to make the PC BIOS happy).

We are implementing a project that does not permit the use of a normal
linux network driver.
The configuration we want to implement is a user - server private IP
network that can communicate with the kernel and consequently the
outside world.
Does anyone know of an API that will allow us to do this?
Thanks in advance,

hi!
I want to set up a local newserver in a LAN with only local
newsgroups. so I just installed innd on my rh60 box, started
/etc/rc.d/init.d/innd. the linux has no connection to internet.
but when I try to download the list of newsgroups my newsclient
(outlook newreader) claims:
480 Authentication required for command
I try to set it up with user and password (a valid user on the linux
box) but nothing happens....
I have looked for a innd -howto but havent found yet and I have looked
at the innd man page, innd.conf manpage etc.... but I need a "getting
started guide" for how to set up new newsgoups (isn't that in
/var/lib/news/newsgoups?)
where? how? what? HEEELP!!!!

Hey! STOP! I didn't say that.. I do have two different answers, so I want
to know more about it. Only one of them can be true, or they are both untrue.
I didn't say one of them was lying, i said "lying" (so with the quotes, to

well, i want speed, reliability and easyness (is that english? ;-).
Furthermore, FreeBSD was designed for the i386 processor family, so
why shouldn't I use it? I don't need the same OS on different platforms
and I don't need the best security.

Actually, I remember awhile back that somebody posted a method of piping
the 'ls -l' command to the 'bc' calculation tool in order to calculate
the amount of space that is being used in a particular directory... I
was just wondering how the heck they could zero in on the size of each
file (from the 'ls -l' listing) and then 'pipe' only the file sizes to
the 'bc' utility... For example: Let's say I have this listing:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 2048 Jun 20 04:25 bin
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Jun 26 03:21 boot
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 35840 Jun 30 04:14 dev
drwxr-xr-x 34 root root 3072 Jun 30 03:55 etc
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 1024 May 17 03:29 home
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 3072 May 12 02:56 lib
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 12288 Apr 10 08:26 lost+found
How would I be able to zero in on the file size column so that I can
'pipe' the result to the 'bc' utility... Know what I mean...???

Hi there,
Let's say that I have a whole directory full of tarballs that I want to
untar/gunzip with one recursive command... I tried doing something
like the 'tar xzf *.tar.gz', but tar isn't recursive in that effect...
I wish tar would except wildcards...!!! I was also gonna try and write
a script with a 'while' loop in it that would continue to feed filenames
to 'tar' until it got to the end of the directory... My problem there
is that I don't know how to sequenctially feed files to 'tar' in this
fashion... Could someone please help me in this time of grave
speculation...*smile*
I basically would like to implement a shell script that follows the
following algorithm:
read first file
loop until lastfile {
tar xzf file
read next file }
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated...!!! Thanks...

What driver are you using? I use TurboLinux which has its own hardware
configuration file (so am not sure where the actual details are). I have a
Logitech Mable+ (with wheel). Could not figure out how to get it to work
until I realized I was using it with the MS Intellimouse drivers in
Windows, so I chose PS/2 Intellimouse with wheel.
Not many programmes support the wheel. It works in Lyx. I can scroll my
Kterm window in KDE. Unfortunately, it does not work in Netscape (where I
really wanted it to work).

You didn't say if this was a SCSI or IDE device. Just about every SCSI
device should work with cdrecord. If this is a relatively new IDE device,
it's more than likely mmc-3 compliant, so just try cdrecord out. The
HOWTO is pretty comprehensive but there are a few things that may give you
grief, and you may have to recompile your kernel...

du `ls -alF | awk '{print $5 \"+ 0\" }'`
Something crazy like this may work... In theory bc should take the output
of that "ls | awk" command. The "ls | awk" thing shoudl print out a
string like "2048 + 01024 + 035840 + 03072 + 01024 + 012288 + 0". I dunno
though. I'd have to be really interested in doing that if I wanted to do
it.
I'll just stick with du.

Not to be confused with "fuckbar", many of which are located on "40 Mark
Strasse".

So, if you want to run NTFS and use lilo, you build a 20 MB dos
partition at the beggining of your drive. Lilo goes in the MBR, and by
default NT will put the loader files in hda1 (which will be the 20 mb
dos partition). You will simply set lilo up to boot either dos or
linux. If you type dos at the lilo prompt you will get the NT loader.

it would be interesting (to me, anyway), to test the terminal with vttest.

(it does some accommodation for overruns, but I've only tested a while
back on a vt420 - no XON/Xoff)

Yep, there is. Aide has a working database (line database in
aide.conf), which it uses to check, if something was altered on the
system. You'll find another option called database_out, which is the
database aide writes its output to (with aide -u).
After updating, you must manually move the new database to the old
one, so that aide operates on the new database. It doesn't do so
automatically.
