[ snip ]
I was not complete enough here, Perl uses BSD flock() not
SysV lockf(). lockf() is capable of obtaining a mandatory lock,
flock() is not.
strace to following script to see what I mean:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Fcntl qw[:DEFAULT :flock];
open FH, ">file.txt" or die "can't write file.txt: $!\n";
flock FH, LOCK_EX or die "can't lock file.txt: $!\n";
print FH "test\n";
close FH;
__END__
There possibly is a module or compile time option (compiling perl,
not a script), to make Perl's flock use lockf(). I do not know what
that is off hand though.
For all interested parties, more information can be found it:
perldoc -f flock
perldoc perlopentut
less /usr/src/linux/Documentation/mandatory.txt

Well, that's not really true. You can increase the amount of
swap available to you by building a swap file, instead of a
swap partition, as long as you have room for it somewhere in
your directory tree. Check out the Linux Installation and
Getting Started Guide by Matt Welsh, specifically section
4.5, at:

May you boot from a floppy?
If so, put 2.2.16-3 in one (/usr/doc/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO) and instruct it
to load the root filesystem from the hard disk (man rdev) in read only
way.
The system will boot (there is a script which will turn the system into
r/w after checking it) and you will be able to copy the kernel from the
floppy into /boot, edit lilo.conf, run lilo and so on.
Try to boot in single mode the first time because you will not have
probably the modules for 2.2.16-3 (/lib/modules/2.2.16-3/*) and you
will have lo load them now. I imagine the raid support will be in the
kernel, not as a module (recompile it?).
By the way, have you tried the official IBM or RedHat support? Maybe,
they could provide you with a customized copy of the install CDROM.

Subject: XFree86 4.0.1 is running, but there are problems...
Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2000 10:43:15 -0700
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Tried installing the latest version of X and discovered it was a real
pain. After spending an hour or so reading installation instructions
for XFree86 4.0.1 and some related notes and articles gleaned from other
sites, I tried installing the new X as an upgrade to a vanilla 3.6
installation on a basic RH 6.0 box with 2.2.16 kernel.
First time through, system froze on boot at loading font server. I
didn't have the installation program overwrite my original configuration
files, so I tried again, this time overwriting everything. Same
problem.
Apparently, X installation script wasn't smart enough to remove xfs
configuration script, so I did. Rebooted, system came up fine, except
when I ran "startx" I got twm instead of my KDE desktop. After much
trial and error, I discovered I could bring up KDE by editing
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc, replacing "twm" with "startkde".
Unfortunately, I still could not load KDE as non-root user. I created a
link to xinitrc in my home directory and solved that problem.
Now, I had my KDE desktop back, but it was displayed about twice as TALL
as it should have been and I had to scroll down a full screen to reach
the panel. I couldn't find any settings that might explain this, so I
tried installing the latest drivers for my video card (Nvidia Geforce)
hoping that might solve the problem. Once again, X failed to load
complaining about a missing kernel module, which I did install per
instructions. I think it was expecting a different filename, or perhaps
a different location? In any case, after about 6 hours of fiddling
unsuccessfully, I gave up.
Opened my box, swapped my primary drive with my backup drive, closed
everything up and rebooted back to my former system. Thank god for cp
/dev/sda /dev/sdb!

You can force a a "update" with sync, but this is probably not what you

I understand, but that is only for lockf(), perl uses flock() on Linux.
>From mandatory.txt:
1. Mandatory locks can only be applied via the fcntl()/lockf() locking
interface - in other words the System V/POSIX interface. BSD style
locks using flock() never result in a mandatory lock.
So I do not think perl can do it, unless you can force perl to use
lockf()/fcntl() (the SysV interface) instead of flock().

Do you know of any bbs software that is similar to Opus 1.73A?
or Maximus? I ran a Opus bbs up until about 1997 and I would like to
find a Opus bbs or compatible bbs for Linux that has the same
features/looks as Opus 1.73A or Maximus. I have grown use to Opus and
its little NACL and Cayenne bbs.ctl compilers.
