Thanks for the tip! I imagine that one solution would be something before
linux reboots, but don't know what to do. I found that the problem is a bug
in System Commander. I installed BootMagic (from Powerquest) and works ok.

I am runnign Linux 2.4 and it supports
files > 2GB. See /usr/include/bits/stat.h
and look at struct stat64, which supports file size
up to 1 TB (always half of max filesystem size), because
file size is a signed data type.
You will have to define
__USE_LARGEFILE64 when you create the file with
O_LARGEFILE (see /usr/include/bits/fcntl.h).
To find out more about this, do
find /usr/include -name \*.h | xargs grep LARGEFILE | more
I created a 120 GB file on a 300 GB raid volume.
Cheers,
Joe
P.S: Kernel experts interested in workin on filesystem size
limitations and on the block I/O layer and LVM layer,
please let me know. We are looking for 2 or more Linux
kernel engineers to join our group at Maxtor Corp to

Date: Fri, 22 Sep 2000 14:10:20 -0400
Hi,
Thanks for your assistance. Ok, I took your advice and created a REAL user on my web
server for the purposes of ftp'ing files from my internal networked machine to my web
server. FYI, I am using the TIS firewall proxies so my line in inetd.conflokks like
this:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/etc/netacl in.ftpd
and in my /usr/local/etc/netperm-table file, I limit the users who can ftp into my web
server to the IP of my internal network machine so no one from the outside can ftp in.
I
trust that this makes my web server more secure?
Finally, I downloaded, compiled and installed ncftp which has a utility called ncftpput
that allows me to automatically (via cron) schedule file transfers by putting it in a
script (this was my original intention). So I finally have what I wanted.
Thanks again,
Don

Take a look at the inittab man page (describing the format of
/etc/inittab). Look for the "kbrequest" action and create your own key
combination, and create a new line based on the "ca::ctrlaltdel:....."
line.
You have to edit your keymaps file, but that's (almost) explained on the
man page.

I've been told that the current Mandrake version 7.1 kernel (2.2.15) is
patched for UDMA66, supermount and up to 170 other features/fixes, many of
which I don't need/use but some of which I certainly do.
If these features are not now in the linux standard patches (16,17,18pre)
then there's a chance that parts of my installation will not have the
kernel support they need.

That is a tempting approach, but I get the feeling that there's some
non-standard stuff out there that I'm using in mandrake that would be good
to have. Not sure though.
Guess I'll just have to give it a try...
Thanks for the advice. I see also that debian is recommended. Guess I'll
look over there as well.

Hummm.... Either you are protecting your layout or something is amiss in the
first line. Here is mine:
auth required /lib/security/pam_listfile.so item=user sense=deny
file=/etc/ftpusers onerr=succeed
Used as above if you are using ftpusers as a DENY file...
And I do not have this line present in my PAM ftp file:
auth required /lib/security/pam_shells.so
