Hi,
Thanks for your help so far.
I think I have tracked where my problem is but not sure how to fix it.
Here is what I do...
# mt -f /dev/nst0 status
SCSI 2 tape drive:
File number=0, block number=0, partition=0.
Tape block size 512 bytes. Density code 0x47 (unkown to this mt).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (41010000):
BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN
# echo "Tape1" >/dev/nst0
# mt -f /dev/nst0 status
SCSI 2 tape drive:
File number=0, block number=0, partition=0.
Tape block size 512 bytes. Density code 0x47 (unkown to this mt).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (41010000):
BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN
The block number doesn't change. I know the tape drive works cause I can use
tar to write to it with no problem. What could be causing echo not to write
to the tape?

Is hfs compiled in your kernel? You can also (IIRC) load it as a
module.
I tried to do what you're attempting a little while back but I
couldn't get it to work right. I could mount the CD and share it but
the resource forks were showing up as separate files (I think the
kernel and netatalk have different ideas on how to handle resource
forks). If all you're trying to share is data files (word, text,
jpegs,etc) it should work fine though.
Good luck!

Hello,
my system use shadow password system.
I made two general users without making a group named 'user.'
Each user has their own group name, the same as user_name.
I want to change the users' group as 'user' not 'user_name.'
For example, user_a is the member of user_a group.
It's enough if I edit the /etc/group file? or modify the shadow password
related files?
Thanks in advance.

You can spend a lot less than that if you peruse auction sites or are
willing to spend a certain amount of time looking for deals.
As one possible example, my 16-port 10/100 auto-switching hub (not a
switch) was $135 + S&H. It's a Linksys (a brand which some people seem
to love to hate), but it works very well for me.

FWIW I found WindowMaker right on my RH 6.1 CDROM. If you do an 'expert'
install and pick your packages by hand you can just select it at that
time; otherwise, rpm it later on. Check your CDROM and see what treasures

Most good programming editors will let you easily invoke gcc or make, parse
the error messages, and let you step thru the errors. Examples are emacs,
jed, and grasp. XEmacs has a compile button that invokes make.

I still have the manual for an old 28.8 Zoom here, and the init string
that reset it to factory specs was AT&F. AT&F1 is also a common init
string. Give those a try, as well as ATZ. I don't know if those same
commands work with modern Zooms or not, but hey. If you do not have your
modem's docs, try looking up Zoom's web site.
Maybe the modem is getting turned on (at boot) in data mode instead of AT
(command) mode. On one of mine, the characters +++ and a one-second pause
escape it into AT mode if it is in data mode. See what happens if you send
it those characters. If it sends you an OK after the +++ (pause), then you
can start sending it AT commands. (I know this applies to internal modems,
not sure about externals -- ?)
Is your computer messing around with the IRQ your modem is using? Did you
check for IRQ conflicts before *and* after switching the modem off and on
manually? Plug and play could be playing tricks. If so, you could always
tell the computer to leave it alone at boot and just turn the modem on by
hand until you sort this one out.

Give linux a try before you waste your money on W2k.
You can get linux for FREE if you want to download it.
Just change the distribution to redhat, slackware, mandrake, etc...
there will be a link on the website to their ftp site.
