Looks like NDS tree of your NW server doesn't have such user as "testuser".

\0 is also forbidden since that's end of string and would cause no end
of trouble in its handling under unix. everything else, even control
chars, is ok (but can cause some weird interactions with your display,
various userland programs &c).
unix used to have a 14 char limit. this might be important if you
have to deal with stuff over ten years old.

while it's not forbidden, : can give problems in unix too since it's
commonly used as a name separator. e.g., in bash
$ PATH=/bin:/usr/bin

There is a linux distribution called "Monkey" that used the
windows swap file. It was set up to be installed from floppies.
Hasn't been updated for quite a while but might be worth
looking at to see how swap usage was set up.

I'll answer my own question - upon rebooting, fsck found that a large
file (10Gb) existed without a Large File Bit set in the Superblock.
Upon using e2fsck to set the large file bit, gunzip worked on the large
file without having to recompile.

It's because that's the convention for driver names. Naming a file with
a period at the start isn't inherently a problem. Naming a file ".Sony"
is (or at least was) a recipe for disaster.

I think Linux is a very immature, amateur OS. That's the main problem.
You should get Windows 2000 instead. It's an awesome OS. Doesn't crash
at all. Very stable.

Subject: Gnome/KDE/X question
Date: Wed, 23 Aug 2000 18:32:17 GMT
Hey all.
We all know that CTRL-ALT-[Keypad +] or CTRL-ALT-[Keypad -] will change
our current screen resolutions, porovided X is configured as such.
But if running Xconfigurator lets you select multiple color depths as
well, is there a hotkey combination to change color depth too? I
haven't seen this documented anywhere, and wonder how I could change
color depth on the fly.
I was having weird issues with my ATI All-in-Wonder 128 under Mandrake
Linux 7.1 where switching from X to a text console (a la CTRL-ALT-F1,
then back to X with CTRL-ALT-F7) would screw up my color mapping BIG
time. I think it was a complete reversal of the color map. The only way
to reset it seemed to be hitting CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE to restart the X
engine... which has the unfortunate side effect of making me lose
everything I'm running in X at the time.
So I installed Linux on a seaparate machine with a generic ATI RAge II-
C chipset on the video card, and I don't have that problem anymore, so
maybe it's just an issue with the All-in-Wonder 128 card... also found
that dual-booting back to Win98 after using the video card in X would
cause other video issues that required a Win98 reinstallation, which
after about 15 installations over the last month prompted me to spend
$200 and finish building my second system to run Linux full-time,
escaping the dual-boot problems.
Anyhow, I digress. Is there a hotkey for color depth switching? I
wonder if that miht have helped my color palette problem.
Thanks,

[massive snip]
No. Changing color depth requires killing and restarting X. Since
your video card has a lot of RAM and processing power, why not just
leave it at 32-bit color all the time?

This examples is working correctly, but one cycle of transfers only.

But the server invokes "accept" and does "send" in reply to a call
"connect"

It calling one time only. In outcome a transfer take place one time only.

Somebody may have kernel modules for it, but unless they were compiled
for your specific kernel (that is, whatever comes with a specific
distribution), you may have trouble using the modules. IMHO, it's better
to recompile the kernel. It's intimidating at first, but if you set
aside a couple of hours to look it over (preferably with an appropriate
HOWTO or book chapter at your side), it's not that bad. What's more,
you'll learn a lot and probably have a result that's better-optimized
for your system than you get with a precompiled kernel. So long as you
don't burn any bridges (say, by overwriting your old kernel with the new
one), it's safe.

The default is read-only support. There is read/write NTFS support, but
it's marked "experimental" or "dangerous" or some such. I've seen few
reports about it, but some of those I have seen indicate that it's
potentially very dangerous. I recommend using read/write support only on
test partitions, or at most non-critical data exchange partitions. Write
support may not be included in a module, even if you find a precompiled
NTFS module that works on your system.

This syntax works with recent software, but with older software, you may
need to use smbmount instead of mount. Unfortunately, smbmount has had
several different syntaxes. The most recent is:
smbmount //server/share /mountpoint
It'll then prompt for a password. There are additional options if you
want to use a username other than the one you're using on Linux, etc.
You can check the smbmount man page for more details (but it's not
correct for some versions of Samba -- specifically 2.0.5a, IIRC).
