but why are we reverse DNSing? who cares what name it's assigned to?
i thought the IP number itself was trusted. have i totally

To my knowledge 'equation' stays for 'equal'; no equal, no equation. On
the other hand is *usually* noted down 'equation' for both equations and
inequations (that is f(x)[<,>, <=, >=]y.
BUT. I don't find 'equation', even in the wide sense, being the rigth
word. English is not my mother language, but I would say:
Here is the *expression*:

It all depends.
On what kind of hardware it is.
You'll need to check the NT hardware compatibility list to see if the
system in question has been approved as NT-compatible. Many Linux-based
systems use hardware that NT certainly cannot run on; there is not, for
instance, a port of Windows NT to the StrongARM or SPARC architectures,
and Microsoft is no longer releasing new versions for MIPS, PowerPC,
or Alpha.
You will need to validate that you can obtain drivers for any hardware
involved.
Generally speaking, the process involves Linux being removed from
the machine, as the NT install process tends to expect to dominate
the system.
You might wish to ask Microsoft for assistance with this process;
if they hear it involves removing Linux, you might very well get
help from one of their engineers.

Strong language gets results. "The reloader is completely broken in

Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2000 13:02:39 GMT
This is step one of a list of things I want to set up ppp, ipmasq, but
getting the modem to work is the bottleneck. I am using my nt box to
dial in because I can't get the same modem to work on my linux box
consistently. I got it to work once so I know it can.
Its an external usr modem not a winmodem.
At this stage I'm plugging the modem into the serial port corresponding
to ttyS1 (the one I got it to work on before) and trying to contact it
using kermit (it seems easier then minicom, I never know what to do
when in minicom). I've configured it using minicom -s, I've tried
wvdial, and kermit and the system does not seem to recognize that the
modem is even connected.

Sorry, but I was expecting an error message at the end.
There was none.
Judging from your original post, the C++ compiler (g++) does not seem
to find the <string> (or was that <strings>?) header. Since this is a
standard header file this means that your C++ compiler is not
completely/correctly installed (you may be missing some development
packages (I don't know what these are called on Mandrake, on my Debian
system it's called 'libstdc++2.10-dev')).

Thanks for the reply - but I don't seem to have been very clear.
What I mean is:
Can I run linux on a machine (assuming I have all the correct drivers) then
be able to run a NT4/2000 OS over the top or as a process or any other way.
I hope I am a bit clearer this time...

It's a totally simple and far-from-perfect way to double-check that an IP#
is who it claims to be; see what happens when you use libwrap or tcpd with
`ALL: PARANOID' in /etc/hosts.deny, for example.

Subject: Help please : Script !!
Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2000 13:33:49 GMT
Hi there,
I'm up to program a small script which copies files with the
command "cp -r" from one server to the other. But this should work
automatically. So I'd like to run this script by activating crontab.
This script should mount the first server. Then it should copy the
files from the first to the second server. If this is done the first
server should be unmounted.
1) Is it possible to tell the cp command to return a certain value to
the script knows when to unmount the server?
2) I've recognized that if someone in this network is still working on
a file out of server one, the script isn't able to copy this file. Is
it possible to ignore this and copy this file anyway?
Please write back as soon as possible.
If possible with a source-sample.
Thanks in Advance

Subject: Getting user access on /dev/mem
Dear gurus, ;)
I am working with a 'special' PCI device (excalibur milbus 1553 card)
which is inserted in my linux box. Because there's no driver for this
card on linux I have created a function which opens /dev/mem and then
maps the memory of this board onto a piece of memory in process space.
This way I can access the cards function and memory. This works fine
when running in root mode.
As I am using this function in a library which is being linked by
another program, I want to access /dev/mem being a 'normal' user
without root privilieges. Because /dev/mem is a 'char' device I have
set privileges on /dev/mem on rwx for everyone by running 'chmod 777
/dev/mem', with the idea that the normal user would be able to access
/dev/mem for reading and writing. Security is no issue, so it's dirty
but I don't mind. I do not have experience writing device drivers so I
think it will cost me some time writing one (even though most people
say that it's way easy, but having no experience usually means that it
takes a lot of time getting the job done).
However, whenever I try to access the library function which opens and
maps the memory of the board to the process space, I get an errno
indicating 'Operation not permitted'. How can this be?? I have set
privileges to everyone rwx??? Is there some extra check somewhere in
the kernel?? Can I disable this??
Please if someone has experience with this can you give me some
explanation or information on disabling the security??
Regards,
Ferdinand.

in other words, the IP number is *not* trusted.

My USB-ethernetadapter, with the pegasus.c driver, is detected well (I have
a directory called '/proc/bus/usb/01'. I configured everything to get it
work, but I can't get it to work. If I type 'ifconfig eth0 [ip]' then I get
errors:
SIOCSIFADDR: no such device
eth0: unknown interface: no such device
The same errors I get with 'ifconfig eth1 [ip]'
What do I wrong, and what should I do to get it work proberly??
I have RedHat 6.2 with kernel 2.4.0-test8
Many thanx in advance,
Ben.

You have to make shure, if you recompile a new kernel, that the support for
the FAT filesystem is included in the kernel (or build as a module).
