Stick with 2.2.x kernels, XF86 4.1 and a system board with working memory
and I/O subsystems.

I've not used uugetty for that purpose since RH5.2 (no longer have a
modem on this machine, now use a centralized ip-masq server for the
modem), so I've no idea if this would work on 6.2, but FWIW here's
the pertinent parts of my /etc/conf.uugetty.ttyS3 (modem was on COM4):
DEBUG=310
RINGBACK=YES
MINRBTIME=7
MAXRBTIME=40
INTERRING=6
MINRINGS=1
MAXRINGS=2
INITLINE=cua3
ALTLINE=cua3
TIMEOUT=60
INIT="" \d+++\dAT\r OK\r\n ATH0\r OK\r\n ATM0E1Q0V1X4&c1&d2S0=0S6=5\r OK\r\n
WAITFOR=RING
CONNECT="" ATA\r CONNECT\s\A
DELAY=1
ALTLOCK=cua3
ALTLINE=cua3
You'll notice I had it set for ringback, i.e., ring the phone once,
hang up and wait 15-20 seconds then dial again and it answers. Except
for a period of time when I had a broken modem, it always worked fine
for me.
One other caveat was that the uugetty binary shipped with RH5.2 was
broken in that it was compiled without RINGBACK support. I had to
rebuild it myself.
Here's the entry from the inittab file that was in use at that time:
S3:235:respawn:/sbin/uugetty -t60 ttyS3 F38400 vt100
If your uugetty was compiled right, you shouldn't need the -d option at
all.
Another possibility is that another compile-time option, or actually
a RedHat patch, may not have been applied.... The original uugetty
sources looked in a subdirectory of /etc (whose name escapes me
right now), and Redhat patches it to look in /etc instead. Unfortunately
at the RH 4.x and 5.x levels they forgot to patch the documentation,
so I spent some considerable head-banging before I figured that one out!
So, anyway, my point being that perhaps yours was compiled without that
patch? You may try doing a 'strings uugetty | less' and see if you
see any interesting directory names mentioned in the result.
As far as your config file goes, I notice you've listed ttyS1 as the
alternate port, but you're already using ttyS1 as the main port. Is
it possible that this is causing a conflict? I'd try commenting out
the lines for ALTLOCK and ALTLINE.
You also could try the debug option to see if it'll produce a log
file of what it's doing, perhaps that will help. Take a look in the
directory: /usr/doc/getty_ps-2.0.7j at the README.linux file for
details on setting up and troubleshooting uugetty.
Good luck!

Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2000 07:33:25 GMT
Hello all
I am a beginner student in TCP/IP programming and networking (Linux
platform). I need some advice and suggestion about how to be able to control
and manipulate all the IP datagram which are entering or leaving my computer
at any time. I want to use this program to test networks protocol.
I want to be able to get the source and destination address for an IP
packets, dropping some of the IP packet and delaying between them.
I will be very glad if you will answer following question:
1-Should I make my own network driver in order to manipulate the IP
datagram?
2- Is it possible to configure my computer to be a router, and receive all
the IP datagram, manipulate them and forward to their destination, let say
my computer is router for three other computer (only a small intern network,
not connected to internet ). Should I make my own IP protocol in this case,
or again I should make my own driver for this computer too ? or other
suggestion.
3- Could I find any programmable devices, which could be used for this
purpose, and giving the possibility of modifying its network driver or
modifying its way for packet forwarding ?.
I hope you can help and giving me some idea and some direction.You can mail
me directly so I have your suggestion.
Thanks in advance

Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2000 08:17:19 GMT
This is what I do to make a CD under Linux. Get the program called X CD
Roast. It is very easy to use. And a question. What kind of CD Writer
do you have? Is it an EIDE or SCSI? SCSI is easy to setup. But I have
an EIDE and to use it, you have to enable scsi emulation which requires
you to enter a line in your lilo.conf file that says hdd or hdc or what
ever yours is...
hdc=ide-scsi
and then go to your etc folder and run lilo to make it go into effect.
Then when you go into X CD Roast, it will reconize the CD Writer and
everything should be explainitory.
CD-RW's on the other hand are a whole new ball game. To be honist, I
have never got them working in Linux. But just today, I ran into a
program that says it does it.
It is called GNOME Toaster. Download it and play with it. Tell me if
you get it working.

I'm almost at my wits' end trying to figure out my problem:
I've set up a linux box to get mail from an ISP mailbox (multidrop).
Everything worked during testing. But then I send a test mail with a
file attached and now fetchmail cannot retrieve it. It always
timeouts. I've even set the timeout to 300 seconds (5 minutes) and
still it times out. I though it was something wrong with my SMTP
listener so i tried fetchmail -bsmtp maildump and it still timeouts.
My ISP is using qmail and qmail-pop3d. Is there a known problem
between qmail and fetchmail?

I have a friend, who has an old 386 computer and we'd like to make it a

But the new distributions are very large - I was thinking about recompiling
glibc to make it smaller. We also don't need any security there, no PAM no
shadow passwords etc.
How can I get rid of it?
First I thought about using libc5 - I have a very small libc5 distribution
called Monkey Linux. But it has problems with localization and I'd have to
recompile all software..

The script could definitely be improved.
It's kind of stupid to hardcode the dir you want to check into the
script. A few simple changes would do the trick:
SOMEDIR=$1 instead of SOMEDIR="/usr/local/test" and an errortrap if $1
is empty.
For safety reasons you could check the given dir against a file
containing dirs and/or files which are not allowed to be removed (one
possible scenario: running the originall script in your home dir,
especially under Linux).
But then again: The original question was a simple, not a perfect
script ;-)))

Piece of..cake.
You run wmaker.inst to get windowmaker setup, not sure about Afterstep
(haven't run it since Enlightenment stabilised)
Generally, no matter wehat distro you use, X looks for a file
called .xinitrc and indeed .Xclients in your home directory.
So you can run stuff from there. i.e.
cat .Xclients
root-tail&
xscreensaver&
exec enlightenment
(note the & at the end of every line *except* the last, which should start
your windowmanager.)

Having read the troubleshooting on the vmware-site, I think it's a
glibc-problem. My libXp.so.6 is quite old and statically linked,
probably not
with the requiered glibc-libs.
What can I do about this? Probably I will have to upgrade libXp to a
glibc-linked version. Does it mean all my X-libs need upgrading? Do I
need to
upgrade my whole Xfree if I do this (I'd rather not!). What's the best
way to
obtain new X-libs?
And if you have time left: is it advisable to turn my system over to
glibc at

PGP/GPG [and all Free crypto] rocks.
Howver, if we don't have your public key, and don't particularly need
to check that's *really* you posting, then there's
no need for you to be signing mesages.
I don't need to know who you are to value your opinion.
I use PGP myself a lot , but I don't sign posting by default
(especially not to public newsgroups)
Just my opinion; you don't need to verify my identitiy to

WHAT terminal? If your termcap/terminfo description doesn't match your
terminal's behaviour, change the termcap description you are using.
There are lots of different types of xterms, vt100s, vt220s, etc.
Most all of them have a readybuilt termcap/terminfo description
that you MUST USE.
So give us a bit more data and you may get some readybuilt help.

Subject: Problem with a Maxtor 40Gb drive
Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2000 09:45:30 GMT
Hi,
I have tried to install RedHat 6.2 on my PC at home and I am running
into some kind of problem with my hard disk. No matter what size I
allocated to the /boot partition it always fails to allocate the
partition due to "boot partition too big". I have tried all sizes for
the boot partition down to 8Mg and no joy. The disk is an IDE Maxtor
40Gb - I also have Win98 Second Edition installed on this system.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
Bertrand.
