Of course you *could* put 64K users on each machine. However,
it might make more sense to wait a year and look at using the
2.4.x kernel that will (hopefully) be out by then. I think
that should support 32-bit UIDs which should allow you to
have almost enough accounts for everyone on the planet (4 billion
UIDs gives better than 80% of the estimated world population).
(I think glibc is already capable of handling 32-bit UIDs,
though it might need to be rebuilt for the new kernels as this
feature becomes available).

man pppd and read about the 'persist' option.

Why is this commented out?
The default is the current root: /dev/sdb1, I presume. How are you booting
to here?

Date: Tue, 03 Oct 2000 10:41:14 -0400
I'm about to move my system from IDE to SCSI.
I know I can't just do a cp -a - for one thing, the /dev files won't make
it.
What's the best way to simply take a system from a bunch of partitions on
/dev/hda and stuff them into /dev/sda?
TIA,

Hello,
It does not exactly belong here.
I have installed Mandrake-7.1 on a dual Celeron box.
In X windows some how cut/paste does not seem to work.
The entry in /etc/X11/XF86Config for pointer section is:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "Mircosoft"
Device "/dev/ttys0"
Emulate3Buttons
Emulate3Timeout 50
EndSection
The mouse in question is 3-button Logitec/Serial.
Also tried without Emulate3Buttons, seems have no effect.
Any idea?

It's just a symlynk, so deleting it shouldn't matter, especially if it
points to itself To be sure that "..." isnt a link to something like
"... " try
ls -lQ ...
and see if you get
lrwxrwxrwx 1 patrice patrice 3 sep 19 16:38 "..." -> "..."
If so, the file just points to itself and can be deleted. Even if it
doesn't, it's easy enough to recreate a symlink if deleting it breaks
something. The real and perhaps more diturbing question is how it got
there in the first place.

Assuming you mean print to a printer:
man manpage | lpr
Though you can probably get nicer output if you do something like
zcat /usr/man/man1/manpage.1.gz | groff -Tps -man | lpr
Though I haven't tried that myself.

Yup, it sure is. somehow, and it is completely mysterious how, you have
a default route attached to lo. This is totally weird (and useless). I
have never seen this before.
It should NOT be there, and you need to figure out why it is there.
Check /etc/sysconfig/network for the gateway line. Remove it.
Check the /etc/sysconfig/static-route to see if there is something there
which ccould be setting a default route for lo.

See. 0.0.0.0 is the default. It is connected to lo which is completely
and utterly dumb.
Actually, attaching 127.0.0.0 to eth0 is also completely dumb. It
belongs on lo.
Get rid of the 127 route on eth0. Do not use 127,x,x,x as your host IP
address. Look in the above files. Also look in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
Something is badly misconfigured.
