You could do that. Or you could use a mail server that doesn't
necessarily require each mailbox to have an account on the system.
Cyrus comes to mind.
<http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/>
Out of the box, this wants to use kerberos or /etc/passwd. However, if
you go to freshmeat.net and search for "cyrus imap" you will find some
stuff there, like for instance a thing to authenticate against MySQL or
Postgress.
There are other mail servers that do not require mailboxes to have an
account on the system. I would think that would be the way to go if
you are running a large mail server.

Subject: HELP: can't umount filesystem on shutdown!
Date: Thu, 5 Oct 2000 02:10:02 +0000 (UTC)
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I really need some help here...my system won't shut down properly any more.
I have two drives in my RedHat 6.2 box. One of them had linux on it and the
other windoze. I was running out of space in linux, so I wiped windows off
the other disk (/dev/hda1). Then I created an ext2 filesystem on it and
mounted it in /usr/hda1.
Then I moved /usr/lib to /usr/hda1/lib and made a symlink so that the
libraries could still be found in /usr/lib.
Everything went fine, until I tried to shut my system down. Then I got the
following error messages (the first message isn't an error, I included it
for context):
Turning off quotas [ok]
Unmounting file systems umount2: Device or resource busy
umount: /usr/hda1: device is busy
umount2: Device or resource busy
umount: /usr: device is busy
No process references; use -v for the complete list
No automatic removal. Please use umount /usr/hda1
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel
I have another system with which I did the same thing, except that I mounted
the new partition (/dev/hdc1 in this case instead of /dev/hda1) directly as
/usr/lib--no symlinks that way. It has the same problem now when I try to
shut it down.
Here's my /etc/fstab file:
/dev/hdb7 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hdb1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdb6 /home ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,user,ro 0 0
/dev/hdb5 /usr ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,user 0 0
/dev/hda1 /usr/hda1 ext2 defaults 1 2
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
/dev/hdb8 swap swap defaults 0 0
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's been a long time since I've done development on unix, but isn't errno.h
or something similar supposed to have the various error defines?
I'm trying to compile sajber jukebox, and something in the thread code is
complaining about an undefined symbol EBUSY. I did a
find /usr/include -exec grep EBUSY {} \; and found nothing. Out of curiosity
I also looked for ENOMEM, ENOENT, etc... and found only some comments.
errno.h and other similar headers don't define any of the familiar EXXXXX
definitions.
What gives?

Hi Floyd!
What I am saying is that I have a Laserjet 4L which is not a postscript
printer. In order to use it with Linux, I followed the SuSE instructions
and installed apsfilter for lpr. This worked very well and ordinarily, I
can forget that I don't have a real postscript printer. For instance, a
multipage Abiword document is printed perfectly.
The command "man find | lpr", for example, produces a multipage
printout but the pages are not ejected at the man headers. This is not
particularly bothersome tho' it would look at bit neater if the page
ejects occurred. I just wondered if it was possible to get man pages to
eject properly but I don't regard it as a major problem nor one
requiring a change to a different printing program.
Incidentally, the bold headers in the document print correctly but if I
use "man -t find | lpr", the printout is much the same but the
previously bold characters become doubled, normal weight and separated
by by about a half letter space; not satisfactory at all!
Jim.

Aha. Fiddling about on the Net reveals that the SB PCI128 is *not* a
Soundblaster, but an ES1370 or ES1371 with the Soundblaster name on it.
(Found that by going to Google and searching for "Linux Soundblaster
PCI128".) The "device or resource busy" line can mean many
things--often, it means you've loaded the wrong module.
Just so that I don't lead you into a wild-goose-chase, do a "cat
/proc/pci" and search the output for "1370" or "1371". If you get a
1370, then try "modprobe es1370" instead of modprobing sb. Replace
es1370 with es1371 if you happen to get "1371" in the /proc/pci output.
If that doesn't work, post the lines from /proc/pci that refer to sound,
and I or someone else will take it from there....

On my Debian, glibc-2.1 system, these symbols are eventually defined in
/usr/include/asm/errno.h. In Debian, this file should be found by a "find"
command such as above, but in many distributions, /usr/include/asm is a
symbolic link to /usr/src/linux/include/asm, which find does not search
unless you specify some other flags.

RedHat's X.0 releases have a history of problems but they get it right
after a while. I've found the VALinux variation (a modified RedHat 6.2)
to be very solid both on their hardware and other systems. You can
find it at ftp://ftp.valinux.com/pub/software/Valinux/6.2.3/. If you have
time for some serious testing before going into production, starting with
RH 7.0 might be OK - otherwise let someone else shake out the early
bugs for a while.

Hi.
I seem to be having a weird problem in X. Sometimes, my mouse does no longer
seem able to click on anything anymore. Even though I can still move the
mousecursor, a mouseclick has no response. At these times, my keyboard still
works fine, and so does everything else. At first I thought that I was
having a IRQ conflict or something, but since my mouse is on com1 and my
modem on com2 this should not be the problem. I have a standard Microsoft
serial mouse, and am running XFree86 3.3.6 with KDE 1.1.2 on Mandrake v7.1.
I have no idea where to start looking to solve this issue. If anyone could
give me some pointers on how to solve this, that would be greatly
appreciated. Also, if i'm newbie enough to have left out critical
configuration information, let me know so I can post that as well.
Thanks.

I'm not sure, but killing the xterms more gently with a kill -HUP may
have logged out the users. Kill -9 is really quite drastic. No signal
handler is usually invoked for signal 9---in fact, it may be impossible
for a program to register a handler for signal 9---so no program that
is killed that way has any opportunity to clean up after itself.

XFree86 4.0 has not (yet) ported all of their video drivers from the 3.x

Look at the package list. It's the 2.2.16 kernel, not 2.4.anything.
I don't know what they mean by "2.4 ready". They probably just mean
that there will be an easy upgrade to 2.4 when 2.4 becomes available.

2) I can't get WINE to work.. it says it windows is not located in

point to all the correct drives, but I think the problem stems from (1).
3) Anyone know how to get a SBLive! Value card to work on kernel
2.2.12-20? the linux drivers that Creative has are for 2.2.5-15, and
they don't work... I tried using ASAC or whatever it is called, but I
