Being worked on at Cygnus I believe. IBM's Jikes is really fast as
a "compiler" (i.e., to byte code) and it produces good error messages.
Kaffe is a good and fast-byte code interpreter.

Can someone point to me the things I should look
at in order to get ftp work under RedHat 6.x?
Symptom: I've never been able to login!
Connected to host.domain
220 host.domain FTP server (Version wu-2.5.0(1) Tue Sep 21 16:48:12 EDT
1999) ready.
Name (host:me): me
331 Password required for me.
Password:
530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.
ftp> quit
Here are the things I have and have checked
Files:
/etc/passwd (has non root user "me", group is also "me"
/etc/shadow (generated by pwconv)
/etc/group (defined group id "me")
/etc/inetd.conf
/etc/ftpaccess
/etc/ftpusers ("me" is not there)
/etc/identd.conf
/usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/sbin/in.ftpd (wu-2.5.0(1))
/usr/sbin/identd
/var/log/messages (says: ftpd[13]: cmd failure, etc.)
/var/log/secure
Someone suggested look at /dev/tty, well, it's crw--rw--rw-.
I suspect teh ftp client sends some thing to the server
which is misinterpreted by the sever as bad user
name and/or password.

First, let me just say, mounting and unmounting a partition via NFS just
to do a copy is not the best idea IMO. You should of course be doing this
in a secure manner (as with everything), and be using 'scp -r'. An
alternative is an ssh/dd/tar combination.

ok... it sounds like your machine is set up to boot into 'graphical' mode -
runlevel 5 for RedHat - xdm/gdm/kdm.
I've seen something really close to this when you have xfstt (true-type font
server) and it didn't manage to start up - but not *exactly* the same port.
On my machine - not RedHat (Slackware 7.1)... but it shouldn't make a
difference... I'm running 'xfstt' and it's necessary to put the following in
/etc/XF86Config (or maybe /etc/X11/XF86Config on RedHat):
At the bottom of all my 'FontPath' entries... I have something that looks
like
FontPath "unix/:7101"
This is basically where xfstt is running... and if xfstt doesn't manage to
start correctly when I boot, etc... I'll get about the same message as
you... with a failure on the same 'fixed' font.
Anyway... quite a bit of background - but the point is probably valid.
You probably have a similar entry in your XF86Config... and your font server
is probably failing to start before it tries to switch to graphical mode in
runlevel 5.
Check your runlevel scripts in in /etc/rc.d/rc2.d, rc3.d, or rc5.d to see if
you can find one for xfstt or maybe an alternative font server.
For xfstt.. it's typical to 'sync' the fonts on startup (xfstt --sync) - and
it tries to look at a specific directory (or directories) for the truetype
fonts - maybe something like /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype?
I usually just make this 'truetype' directory a symlink to point at the
windows font directory... so you don't have to copy the fonts over.
On SuSE... I found that it helped to make the script that started up xfstt,
synced the fonts, etc... sleep for a few seconds to let it process all the
fonts before it returned the success or failure of the script in the
runlevel.
you don't really have to 'sync' the fonts each time you startup - you could
just start up xfstt in the background
for example... in /etc/rc.d/rc.local maybe something like:
/usr/X11R6/bin/xfstt &
I think I've also seen variations to start as a daemon (maybe --daemon
switch?), but either way should work.
hopefully this is good for something ;-)
good luck...

Subject: Re: Implications
Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2000 04:12:06 GMT
Perhaps the best way to think about these implications I have raised is
to consider the nature of process based systems. Both computer systems
and life at the cellular level are process based.
* Every process has to have a distribution package of some sort.
* Successful processes will be sought out and displace less
successful ones. This results in more distribution packages
for the successful processes.
* Processes are very difficult to develop. Once one has been
developed, it benefits process based systems to acquire them
and propagate them.
* A large library of processes helps to support process based
systems, even if only a few of those processes are installed
at any one time.
Perhaps the biggest difference between cells and computer systems is
that cells don't have an operating system. Or is this really a
difference? After all, while we package software together and call it
an operating system, is there really any technological merit to the
term?
Drivers are programs that provide a uniform interface to a range of
hardware. Can I have drivers without an operating system? Sure.
Unless having drivers alone constitutes an operating system?
Multitasking is usually an operating system function. But many
computers with operating systems do not support multitasking, and many
applications support their own multitasking apart from that supplied by
the operating system.
Windows is proof that you can have an operating system without memory
management.
Likewise, the APIs provided by an operating system really amount to
libraries of software, and C compilers all provide code reuse without
having to have code supplied by an operating system.
Perhaps I am missing something, but ever since Microsoft "integrated" a
browser into their Operating System, the term has increasingly taken
the flavor of marketing bundle, a general term for whatever drivers,
libriaries, services, and applications one cares to tie together.
If operating systems don't really exist, perhaps we should examine how
we can break them up into even smaller pieces. Linux has naturally
moved that direction, but perhaps it can be taken even further. This
would allow better configuration management simply because there is
less code in the system in the first place. And less intersection
between code. Less code, more independence generally leads to faster,
more reliable systems.

Linux boot-ups routinely offer multi-boot options. It's Windows that

Others swear by loadlin, which boots to Linux from DOS.

Subject: Access Windows 98 partition from Linux
Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2000 05:33:48 GMT
Hi,
I want to access my logical FAT16 partition from Linux. I tried
mount -t msdos (and also vfat) -o conv=t, umask=022, uid=100, gid=100 -L
<mylabel name> /dev/hda8 /dos
I get the error message:
no partition found
I did fdisk -l /dev/hda and confirmed that Fat16 partition does exist at
/dev/hda8.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

ok, hi, my name is Greg Mcclendon and I live in monterey county. I, along with
a bunch of others, am starting a LUG for monterey county and maybe salinas. The
nearesty lug
is in santa cruz. First, I want to ask if there is an undocumented group that I have
not seen.
Second, if you live anywhere near here and are even somewhat interested in some sort of
LUG, then please email me. thanks.
