Hi all,
I want to ask how to run apache server as root. It tell me to recompile
the httpd
and I have already add the line:
EXTRA_CFLAGS= -DBIG_SECURITY_HOLE
to the "src/Configuration" , but it still not work and compaint the
same.
I have search through deja.com and saw some other question also saying
cannot make it work.
Any expert can give me a hand ???

Probably a more exact way to find out exactly what kind of file you're working
with is, the command 'file' (oddly enough) will tell you. So a
$ file /etc/inetd.conf
would be the correct syntax. It will distinguish an executable from a
ascii-based text, and lots of other cool things (like shell scripts, etc.) I'm
sure somene else could give a more exact description of what it can do (Including
man file). Very useful utility which doesn't depend on permissions or file
extentions (which is a very bad way of determining a filetype anyway, since they
are easily changed).
Hope this helps!

Why would you ever want to do such a thing? Maybe

Jan,
Thanks for your reply. It was very

Tony,
I am by no means a Windows apologist, but...
It's easy for me not to hate it. I don't dig into
the nuts and bolts of it, I just use it.
It's easy to access all the software I need,
it's easy and intuitive to manage the files I create,
and I can easily get and share information.
I understand there are stability problems, and
I probably crash a couple of times a week. This is
annoying. But, everything I need to do always seems
to be at my fingertips. I never have to go to some
manual to figure out the correct command to type in at
a prompt.
Now my initial post was a question about the
advantages of going to Linux. You're reply was a
question, not an answer. I'd be interested to here your
view about the advantages. I should also point out, that
I'm not totally ignorant of Unix. The last two summers
I've worked at a government lab using SGI High Impact
workstations. I appreciate the stability, but I was constantly
asking questions about what commands I needed to do simple
computer tasks.
For me to switch to Linux would mean overcoming
a learning curve (and a steep one at that). I want to
know is it worth the cost in time, for me to invest in
learning all these new commands.
Thanks,
Andrew

If you have a Winmodem you will probably not be able to use that modem
with Linux. You say that you are dual booting. Dual booting with what?
If you are dual booting with windows 98 you can use start settings control
panel system system information to look at the properties of your modem.
If you identify your modem you can go to the manufacturers web site and
find out what type of a modem you have. Winmodems are a fairly recent
type of modem, and if your modem is several years old, it is probably a
regular modem. If you have a bootable dos diskette with the dos program
MSD you can use MSD to find out information about the com ports on your
computer and use that information to determine if your modem is a
winmodem. I have a computer that has a winmodem and it says that it has an
HFC modem enumerator. I also have another computer on which I have Corel
Linux 2, Caldera Linux 2.4 and BSD 5.0. I took the easy way out and
bought an external serial modem and it works great. (I can connect to the
internet, authenticate, and log on, but I still can't get Netscape to go
anywhere!)
Hope this helps

I may be mistaken, but IIRC, both ext3fs and ReiserFS are limited to 4GB
file sizes. OTOH, XFS and JFS have both lifted those limits much higher
(especially XFS, which I recently read has gone beta [ReiserFS is also
officially beta, while ext3fs and JFS are both alpha, the last I'd
heard]). Here are URLs for each of these projects, so you can check the
details for yourself:
ext3fs: ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/linux/sct/fs/jfs/
ReiserFS: http://devlinux.com/projects/reiserfs/
JFS: http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/jfs/
XFS: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/
For all of these, you're likely to need to upgrade to a 2.4.0-test
kernel in order to use those big file sizes, since the VFS (part of the
kernel that's used by almost all or all filesystems) is part of the 2GB
file-size limit, and my understanding is that this limit has been
lifted only in the 2.4 kernel series (or in 64-bit CPU architectures).
Again, though, I've not been following this in minute detail, so I
could be mistaken about it.
Given your requirements, chances are XFS will best suit your needs; JFS
is still too early in development (or its port to Linux, really; it's
been in use for years on AIX and OS/2), while ReiserFS and ext3fs still
have 4GB file-size limits. FWIW, I've briefly used ReiserFS on a test
installation, and it worked well aside from a couple of quirks. I've
tested JFS on a Zip disk. At the time, it had major problems, but there
have been one or two releases since then, so things may have improved a
bit. I've not used ext3fs or XFS.

I'm no real expert on this, but I think the cd-kernel is not fitted for
your machine. I've had this some timnes too, with different distro's and
pc's. It doesn't mean your computer can't run linux, just the "kernel" (=
like command.com, but with much, much more systems included, like network
support) on the cd doesn't work. The most simple way to install the cd
you've got is to boot from a diskette. Knowing RedHat, there should be some
diskette images on the disk, but I don't know where... It shouldn't be too
hard to find :-)
The disk should boot, and then you can go on with installing. Be sure to
install things like "kernel sources" or "kernel developement". It may be
that after the install your machine will not boot. If this is right after
the Power On Self Test, "li", "lilo", or "lilo:", lilo (the LInux LOader,
(allows you to boot NT too) is incorrectly installed. Try to boot with a
"rescue disk" wich you should have made and re-install lilo :-) (sorry, but
that's too complex to explain here, but try "man lilo" and "man lilo.conf")
If it crashes later, with the same message (Kernel panic or isle task
killed or so) the standard kernel crashes. boot with a rescue disk, and
try to make a new kernel (try "less /usr/src/linux-2.<whatever>/README".)
The instructions seem scary, but they can't harm your system any more than
it's already harmed.
(BTW I'm not responsible :-)

Whew, The first one who's got the same problem!!! With me, the modem
(external) gets hot too, too hot to touch!
There are two posssible causes:
1. Your modem's internal registers are screwed up, This is fixable (maybe
this works: ... try starting minicom, try as many reset options as you can
find, reboot and try again to connect in windows. If it works right now,
this was the problem. You could also try re-installing all drivers that came
with the modem (in windows)... The problem is that they are probably none...
:-( )
2. Your modem is magically broken at the moment you installed linux.
This, however, is nearly sure pure coincidence and not linux' fault...)
<-- This was the cas with me. It get's worse all the time an isn't fixable.
A fan gives some relief, but not for long. :-( too

You have balanced and unbalanced chemical equations. Because the
reactants must produce the products, what is required to balance an
equation is implied, and thus often omitted.

I agree. Again, it is all a matter of usage, with many aspects
implied. The equilibrium point can be so far towards the products that
the reaction does not "flow" both ways.
In transcription, the raction proceeds forward, with little flow
backwards. I believe the same can generally be said about
installation, especially when done from a set of CDs.
More interesting would be any arguement against the "equality" implied
by the notation. Do you consider the inputs required of the user to be
a basic element of X in my equations? Should I write:
X + I -> P
Where X is the installation medium, and I is the inputs from the user?
Or is it sufficient to note that response files can provide I and can
be included in X and maintain the equality implied?

Besides using encrypted filesystems (probably your best bet), if you've
got someone that has physical access to your hardware, there really
isn't anything you can do. They can just as well steal your hard drive,
bring it to a cleanroom and read the data bit-by-bit onto another
drive. Your best bet is to:
1) Use a good bios password
2) Put a lock on your physical computer case
3) Enforce good physical security around the box (is this at home, or in
a work enviornment?)

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

I never considered it. There is no meaning (from the chemical point of
view) to the --> vs. ==>. They are simply arrows in the notation.
Here is a reference where all of these and other notations are used. I
just don't think it is important to what I was trying to say.

Hi.
I'm a linux expert (expert... say intermidiate) by means that I know my
way by head in kernel:make menuconfig, in helping a totally stuck person
setting up a network & isdn in a couple of hours, I know the function
and syntax of most /etc files, etc etc.
I'm a beginner by means of: I don't know the difference between the
/opt/subdir /bin, /usr/(s)bin, /usr/local/(s)bin sirs, I don't know the
difference between killsignals (what signal is Ctrl-Z, Ctrl-C), I don't
know the where to built programs, (until recently, I used /test instead
of /usr/src), I don't know the init-files or wher to set a $PATH, etc
etc (and worst of all, I still work a root because I don't know how to
set up a good user-account...).
What I need, is a good guide to learn me all the things a beginner
should learn, in the correct way, and that learns me off all the tricks
that do work, but are terribly wrong. Who knows a good book on this, or
a good tutorial on the net???
Thanks in advance,
Tijmen Stam
