In many cases yes, but there are cases where it is different. Just try
to do something like a
mv *.txt *.doc
It won't work. This is specifically due to that the extension is not
a separate entity. However, on the bright side, a file can have
multiple extensions like hello.tar.gz

I gave up putting IDE-SCSI emulation into my kernel:
I got my redhat 6.2 to use my CD-Writer and it worked with my SCSI Jaz Drive until I
had to remove the SCSI card.
.
$ su -
password: <scret>
# cp /etc/conf.modules /etc/conf.modules.bak
# vi /etc/conf.modules
Modify conf.modules for your CDROM writer, my CDROM is located at /dev/hdc
Here is my conf.modules
alias scd0 sr_mod
alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
options ide-cd ignore=hdc
# cp /etc/rc.d/rc.local /etc/rc.d/rc.local.bak
# vi /etc/rc.d/rc.local
Put this at the end of the rc.local
# load ide-scsi module
insmod ide-scsi
# cp /etc/lilo.conf /etc/lilo.conf.bak
# vi /etc/lilo.conf
put the append statement for /etc/lilo.conf your cdrom
'append="hdX=ide-scsi"' and run lilo.
Here is /etc/lilo.conf, my CDROM is located at /dev/hdc
boot=/dev/fd0
timeout=100
message=/boot/message
prompt
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-6.1.1
label=linux
root=/dev/hda4
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
read-only
# /sbin/lilo
Now relink the /dev/cdrom to your scsi emulation of your cdwriter
# mv /dev/cdrom /dev/cdrom.bak
# ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom
Reboot. (I don't know how to restart with new conf.modules and rc.local
in linux :( )
Run dmesg to see if your scsi emulation is working after the reboot
# dmesg

This is a bad sign. Try this: As root, do something like
strace su USERNAME
and see where it's falling over. When something as well-tested and
important as su decides to start dying, it might be that you're having
hardware problems... does anything else die unexpectedly at odd moments,
like vi?

We at UAB are using Redhat linux for a particular project on VoIP. We got a
problem with the console permissions. X is working only with the root and
when i try to run with my user name it is displaying
*Perhaps you do not have console ownership?*,
and it is prompting for some command!
I tried the following 3 things to get around this problem.
1. Added the following line in the /etc/pam.d/xserver
*account required /lib/security/pam_permit.so* to the existing lines.
2. chmod go+w /dev/console
3. rpm --freshen *.rpm
still not happy. I mean startx runs fine as root, just not as any other
normal user!
what else could be done.

I have upgraded to XFree4.0.1 and everything is working fine, now I need

Question is, how do I go round installing the Xprog.tgz alone. Can I just
extract the package and move to appropriate directories. Further to that,
which directories should it reside under?
Please help, thanks in advance, appreciate all replies.

Hello,
I am using ipchains as a firewall when estabilishing dial-up.
(ppp connection)
For example, in case of rejecting smtp port from the outside,
"ipchains-mini-howto" says that
ipchains -A input -i ppp0 -p tcp -s 0/0 -d $localip smtp -j REJECT
In addition to that, appending -l or --log option, I can understand
that ipchains logging is available from man ipchains.
But I don't know where the ipchains logs are stored.
I saw /var/log and /proc/net/ip_masq. But I could not find the
related things.
Does anybody know where they are stored? Please advise to me.

Look in /var/log/messages. If not there, check some of the other files
in that dir.

I told you where to find it, but I don't use it! Try icewm if you want
something small and fast. I found icewm on a CDROM that came with a
magazine but I am sure it's online someplace. Also I have seen Blackbox
recommended but have not used it.
I also do not hate fvwm though configuring it is a bitch. You can get it
set up quite nicely if you take the time.
All I know is what one person likes the next person hates, so good luck.

There are several methods, take your pick:
gunzip Xprog.tgz; tar xvf Xprog.tar
or
gunzip < Xprog.tgz | tar xvf -
or
tar xzvf Xprog.tgz
In each case read the README and/or INSTALL files to learn what needs to
