Most Linux/Unix I am familiar with, the ftpd is started by a process
(called inetd) upon receipt of a session request.
A file called /etc/inetd.conf typically controls this. Edit it,
uncoomment the line that start "ftp".
BUT, make sure you've updated to the latest ftpd FIRST - a serious
security vulnerability wasrecently found and fixed in many of the ftpd.

because linux is emulating a vt100. sun is not. if you want a
keyboard with backspace there, choose one that has that! don't lie
about emulating a vt100 and then fail to do so.

i admit that this problem is very stupid and should have been fixed
twenty five years ago but here we are and the solution (stty in your

Yes it is. It should not be that slow. Since you have IDE drives,
that would be a good place to start. You'll need to tweak them using
hdparm. The default settings are very conservative.
I use: hdparm -X66 -d1 -u1 -m16 -c3 /dev/hda
And I get:
[root@lab /root]# hdparm -tT /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 1.68 seconds =76.19 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 6.71 seconds = 9.54 MB/sec
This is about double the performance of the default settings.

Yes, much better.

Ne2000 cards are not good choices for servers. They use programmed IO,
which uses more cpu time than you'd probably like. But I'd start with
the IDE tweaks. See "man hdparm".
Another thing is Samba. Setting "socket options = TCP_NODELAY" in the
config file can help performance on LAN's.

Although most ISPs don't indicate Linux support, this is not the same
thing as saying 'Linux machines can't connect to the ISP'. In most
cases, except for the free ISPs, you can quite happily use Linux to
connect to your ISP, but don't expect them to provide you with any
support. Read up on the PPP howto and then try get a 1 month trial
period with any of your local ISPs so that you can try to configure
your Linux host correctly.

If you provide the specs of the machine that you want to buy, maybe

Subject: Serial port problem (Syncing with pilot-link)
Date: 11 Aug 2000 17:23:47 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello. I use linux and I'm having trouble syncing my palm pilot
using the pilot-link tools. It does not appear to be a problem
with the pilot-link tools, but rather it seems that the OS is not
able to open my serial port correctly.
I am using the unstable branch of debian with a custom built
2.2.16 kernel. I'm using pilot-link version 0.9.3. When I try to
hotsync, this happens:
k7q7:~> pilot-xfer -b .pilot
Unable to bind to port '/dev/pilot'.
The link and the permissions seem to be OK. When I had windows on this
machine, I synced through COM1. (My modem is on COM2.)
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Aug 5 13:57 /dev/pilot -> ttyS0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root dialout 4, 64 Feb 22 1999 /dev/ttyS0
The only other thing I know of to check is setserial.
/dev/ttyS0, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
In BeOS I have been successful syncing my pilot on serial1, which was
using the exact same IRQ and I/O Address settings. I have searched the
web and deja and found nothing. I have read FAQs but I have covered
all the bases they mention (permissions, links). I am about to go crazy
as I've had my pilot working on the exact same machine before. Since then,
I've reinstalled the OS and changed from a palm IIIx to a palm Vx. Does
anyone have any ideas? I hope I am merely overlooking something simple.
Thanks.

I use 4 netscape windows + various other programs on my P90 with 32 Megs of

In that case, this is simple.
Use the 'dd' command...
dd if=fd0 of=disk1
and then
dd if=disk1 of=fd0
to copy to another disk.

Specifically, "mkisofs -r -J -o outputfile.iso /path/to/files". -r is
for Rock Ridge, -J is for Joliet. Also, I don't think Joliet extensions
are compatible with the El Torito bootable CD standard, but Rock Ridge
extensions are, and you can use -T to create the TRANS.TBL anyway....

The syslogd itself can be called with (or without) a "-m"
flag that tells it how often to create these markers (the
idea is so that you know the thing is still running). You
can increase it to a high number (the default 20 minutes is
what you have now) or set it to 0 to turn it off entirely.

You could still try, as the latter is probably only listed because it's

Any package referring to /usr/local is a very badly made package, and if

Hi
I'm looking for a console based windowing system for [Debian]
GNU/Linux. I've seen Twin (at <URL:http://linuz.sns.it/~max/twin/>),
but are there any similar projects going on somewhere else?
What I really want to do is to split one tty into several parts, so
that I, for example, could run Emacs in the upper half and compile my
kernel or read my e-mail in the lower half (or lower left quarter or
whatever I felt like).
Any suggestions?
/A

You don't actually need use assert() for that, and doing so is often
considered bad style. An alternative is to use `consult(user).',
followed by the facts and rules that you want to assert, followed by
end_of_file. Or even better, put those facts in a file, and use
`consult(FILENAME)'.
But this is getting off-topic... follow-ups to comp.lang.prolog.

You're using debian? Check out the program splitvt. It only lets you
split the VT down the middle, but, maybe it'll help you. Then again
there are always VCs (;
