Subject: Incredibel long FTP connect time since I add a gateway to my netwerk
Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2000 23:25:18 +0200
I have a very simple private network, one Mac (192.168.0.1) and one
Linux (192.168.0.2), with a modem (PPP) connetcion to the internet on
the Mac. Now I've added a software router on the Mac so I could use the
modem on the Linux as well. On the Linux side I configured the Mac as a
Gateway. Since than it takes almost forever to conntect from the Mac to
the Linux with FTP. What could be the reason?
My interface file:

I've had the same problems with Acroread on certain machines. So far
as I can tell, they are caused by acroread not liking screen modes
with fewer than 32bpp (or, at the very least, not liking 24bpp
modes). If your video card can manage 32bpp, adjust your XF86Config to
use a 32bpp mode, and this should solve the problem.
If not, then 'gv' and 'xpdf' both make a pretty good job of displaying
(and printing) the majority of PDF files, with relatively few
exceptions.
All the best,

Well, then the system holds off and does the copy in the background when
it has time. If you remove the floppy before it gets around to
doing/finishing the copy the buffer is "dirty."
sync
forces the write (rather than waiting).
(there is a manual page for sync)

Yuck. That's very ugly. I could have sworn they introduced a module /
kernel parameter in 2.2.x... I must have been hallucinating ;-)
>(that was the loop device init_module). Are you looking at a
>2.4.0-testX kernel?
Indeed. I've been using this under 2.3/2.4 for so long I assumed that it had
always been so... my mistake. I wonder this was only recently changed? You
shouldn't need to hack up the kernel just to alter this kind of parameter.
At least it's fixed in 2.3/2.4...
Thanks for pointing it out, anyway. Apologies to the original poster for
leading you astray (just upgrade to Linux 2.4.0-pre7 and it will work :-)

Does this happen with only files you create, or modify too? Might be a
long shot, but check your 'touch' command against another one, maybe you
were hacked (and haven't found out yet?) and they replaced lots of
binaries with trojaned ones to alter the time on created/modified files,
to mask how/when they got in....?
Just a guess. :)

Hello, all;
I have Red Hat 6.2 installed on my home computer.
A couple of days ago I tried to run the "setenv"
command and, for my surprise, I got a warning
message saying that there was no such command.
Besides that, there is no entry for "setenv" in
the "man" manuals. However, as I recall, I did

Subject: Re: email relaying problem
Date: Thu, 07 Sep 2000 22:52:12 GMT
Yep. Most e-mail servers have what you call "IP Blocking", which don't allow
someone logged into another domain to use their e-mail servers. If they did,
anybody could use their servers and bog them down, mainly because of the
ability to spread spam (since SMTP doesn't require authentication of any
kind). Since you're using an AT&T connection (You're logged into the AT&T
domain), and trying to use your school's e-mail servers ([EMAIL PROTECTED]),
it's saying "Hey, you aren't from my domain, get the hell outta here!" The
server actually saying this would be something like "at&t not local domain, not
a gateway" or "cannot accept mail for relay" or something like that. It's a
security precaution.
SOOOO, basically if you want to send mail from your e-mail account from your
school, you'd have to either log into their domain or use a web proxy (if they
offer one) for e-mail, AFAIK.... Good luck!

I have setup a Linux box with kernal 2.2.12-20, Red Hat 6.1, and Gnome on a

I have subscribed to DialFree.net for free Linux dialup. On their systems,

Does anyone know of a workaround for this or a mail client that does the

It's probably talking about *your* username and password for your isp.
Use linuxconf and go into ppp configuration (not sure exactly what it's
called, it's been a while) and put in your username and password for your
ppp0 connection to your isp. How are you trying to connect, via 'ifup

if I'm not mistaken "setenv" is used in the "C" shell to set environment
variables
and I believe by default Redhat uses the "bash" (at least that's my
experience) shell in which case to
set an environment variable you can just use "VARIABLE=value"
or edit your login to give you the C shell by default.

It doesn't seem to matter how I connect. I've used pppd from a conmand
line, used terminal and typed the commands, kppp wih pap, chap and a
script. My authentication is accepted and I get a ppp connection from
my ISP - it seems to be on my side that the authentication is being
required (the ISP does assign me an IP number in fact).

Good point... I simply wanted to take clock rate out of the
discussion. MHz is no longer a usefull yardstick....
Bottom line is that the amount and type of work that can get

Yep... at lunch some MIPS folks discussed changes to the
pipeline and pipeline depth to permit faster clocks. I know
that some simulation models were run .... for some
application models the feedback was that the increase in
pipeline depth cost more performance than the net clock
increase would gain (they model lots of things, this type of
model is not too hard).

Yep, AMD and other folks have found ways to graft an
instruction set swizzler onto the best of VLIW and RISC
ideas and are getting some good stuff.
Of interest look at some hardware books and compare the time
it takes to add two integers for two different sizes (32 and
64 bits) with the same family of parts. The simple act of
adding to the program counter matters.... relative
addressing instructions too.
On one dusty old (not MIPS) processor this address
computation stage was one of the design constraints.
