Although I use Linux for what you're doing, you just need to set the
default route to the system running WG4.
Edit /etc/sysconfig/network (I believe it's the same as on a RedHat
system) and you should have a line like this:
GATEWAY="192.168.0.1"
That is assuming that your WG4 system has the private IP of
192.168.0.1. Then you should just be able to bring down and
up the interface on the Linux box.
"ifdown eth0" followed by "ifup eth0" should do it.

Hi,
some stupid dos program ruined one of my Linux partitions.
As a result I cannot mount it anymore, and I cannot repair it with the
ext2fs utilities.
Does somebody know a program that will allow me to repair it?
(there are some files on it that i need) :(

Hi,
I'm a bit confused about the version of the kernel being used in Red Hat
Linux 7.0. According to the Red Hat web page, it says that Red Hat 7.0 is "2.4
kernel ready". I was always under the assumption this meant that it had version
2.4 of the kernel. How is this different from the "real" 2.4 kernel???
Thanks!

If it included a 2.4 kernel, it would say "2.4 kernel included". "Ready"
means the other packages and libs are 'ready' should you install a 2.4
kernel. If this were not the case, you need to update certain other
packages for 2.4.

The official 2.4 kernel release has not yet taken place. Testing is
still ongoing, with the finalization of a 2.4.0 version imminent, but
not yet being something that has taken place. (Unless it has been a
busier evening than I was aware of!)
Red Hat may be including one of the "pre-2.4" releases, but that's not
likely the big deal here.
The notion of being "2.4 kernel ready" is about having the latest and
greatest releases of kernel tools such as the kernel module loader,
as well, perhaps, as utilities that will be useful to customize your
configuration of a 2.4 kernel. Hopefully this may include tools to
help you make your system aware of such things as USB devices for which
support is targeted at 2.4.

It is also not in the path of users, so they have to include that as
/sbin/ifconfig. However, if someone needs to know their IP, something
could be added to /etc/ppp/ip-up.local to do something useful with it.

Yes, this changes the size of the map file, which may now be packed.
ReiserFS *must* be mounted 'notail' when lilo is installed: specifically,
/boot/boot.b and any message file; and when /sbin/lilo is run -- since this is
when the /boot/map file is created.
The problem is fixed in ReiserFS 3.6.18 booted with lilo 21.6 (soon to be
released). Until then, use 'notail' with ReiserFS.

image=/boot/vmlinuz

This will use the same kernel, but boot with different root partitions.

Stupid me! I just realized that users do have execute permissions to
/sbin. I thought by default they were not supposed to. It's ok then.

DOS will not boot from a secondary partition. It must be installed on a
primary partition. That is why it boots okay from floppy; it can read & write
to secondary partitions fine.
Stupid DOS.

Isn't it on the RH cd?
Insert the cd in the drive,
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS
ls netscape*
and you'll see. To install,
rpm -Uvh netscape-comm*
Or, you can of course use the gno-rpm thing.
And if it is not on the cd you can always find it at rufus.w3.org.

Date: Tue, 03 Oct 2000 02:05:12 -0400
First make a link from the actual cdrom device to some directory. The
link is not necessary to mount the cdrom, but some programs search for
/dev/cdrom, so you must fool them. Suppose your cd drive is hdb. Then
ln -s /dev/hdb /dev/cdrom
Then try
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom # man mount, man fstab
How do you know what device your cdrom drive is? Simple:
hda <--> Primary (ide0) master
hdb <--> Primary slave
hdc <--> Secondary (ide1) master
hdd <--> Secondary slave.

Subject: PPP and routing.
Date: Tue, 03 Oct 2000 05:55:51 GMT
I just installed debian after using Red Hat for 3 years - the only
problem is that the ISP I've been with for over a year I can no longer
connect to. I used to hate it when people asked nebulous questions on
usenet, so I've come armed with as much information as I can. :) I
just can't figure out how to go forward.
I think it is a problem with the routing. What happens is that the modem
dials and connects, pppd comes up, authenticates me (via PAP) with the
remote server, and gets an IP address. After that, I can ping myself,
my gateway, and my netmask. All hostname lookups are failures, as well
as pinging the nameservers of my ISP. When I configured debian, it
brings up a eth0 interface at boot even though it isn't connected to
anything. I tried this both with and without, with the same results, so
I don't think eth0 is interfering any.
If anyone has expertise in the area of routing and can clue me in on
what's going on with this, I would really appreciate it. Yes, I am
using the 'defaultroute' option in my /etc/ppp/peers/myisp file for
pppd. Here's a session of what I'm talking about with routing
information. I read the PPP-howto which had a section on routing, it
seems like the problem is that I don't have a route labeled default
attached to ppp0, but I don't know how to get this.
Here's the log - any suggestions or pointers would be greatly
appreciated.

Because of your fstab settings, only root may be able to mount the CD (but, it should
not result in the error you are facing !). Login as root and type the following
command :
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom
/dev/hdd is the cdrom device and /mnt/cdrom is the mount point - may be different on
your machine, watch out before punching the command. If your CD is iso9660 format CD,
it should mount the CD. If it fails to mount ... I don't know !?

Postgres currently limits rows to the size of a disk page, which is 8K
by default. Possible workarounds:
1. Increase disk page size (change BLCKSZ constant, recompile, initdb).
However you cannot increase it above 32K.
2. If the problem is a text field, declare it as lztext instead to
get data compression (only works in 7.0.*). This might get you
a factor of 2 or so.
3. Use large objects (BLOBs). Major pain in the neck, but the size
of any one large object is only limited by your disk space.
4. Wait for 7.1, which eliminates the problem (essentially by
automatically, transparently converting oversize fields into
BLOBs). If you're feeling brave or are not working with
mission-critical data, you could try a current development snapshot.
7.1 beta should be out in a few weeks, final before Christmas.
#1 and #2 could be combined to get you up to circa 64K per record.
BTW, I'm not sure whether our JDBC driver copes with rows > 8K;
you might need to tweak it.

Subject: keystroke filter
Date: Tue, 03 Oct 2000 06:45:42 GMT
I'm looking for a way to filter the keystroke stream (in an arbitrary
Linux app) and remap a sequence of keystrokes in real-time to another
sequence as determined by a set of rules created in a config file.
The rules should roughly allow the flexibility of regular expressions.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
