Problem is this Tom---and perhaps you'll even agree---when one's
'personal' fortune hits the scale at 67 billion samolians, 'personal', and
then, with the now world-famous � of �'s so to speak as in
Micro-you-know-who which nicely adds another 200 billion 'plus', well,
it's sort of like GBS's old comment 'the distinct advantage of possessing
coin of the realm in abundance is that it allows one to tell anyone,
[governments inclusive], to go to hell.'

"Booooooo!' which immediately hushes all assembled until GBS, sitting

Bzip2 will decompress them, but unless you're building the compiler
from the source distribution (not recommended), they won't do much
good, since they're context diffs against the previous versions.
Bzip2 should be on one of the distribution CD's. If it isn't, it's on
most of the FTP archive sites.

That message assumes you want to dual boot with an inferior OS like
Win9x.. They cannot read NTFS, so it would cause problems.. Linux on the

The linux machines I run into from day-to-day don't ever seem to have it. It
is included with many distros, but isn't installed by default. IIRC, it

That's a big advantage kermit has over the others. All you need is the
binary. You don't have to configure and install things.

The big names that are missing are AIX and the SCO ones (whatever they're
calling UnixWare and OpenWhatever now). I don't know that those _don't_
suport the TIOCM* ioctl() calls, but I blew away my OpenServer partition a
few months back and don't have any handy way to find out.

I don't think there's much demand for this kind of thing. It's mostly
limited to people like me using a PC as a source for test signals when
debugging serial interfaces on other things. I really ought to get my
HP4957A protocol analyzer fixed.

Subject: processes don't die when users disconnect (RH 5.2)
Date: Thu, 05 Oct 2000 20:39:59 GMT
Hello,
I have been having a problem on a Red Hat 5.2 box where when a user is
SSHed in and gets disconnected, all of that users processes will hang
around forever until I kill (sometimes kill -9) them. By then end of
the day I have 10 sshd and 10 bash processes hanging around. It's not
just 'w' and 'who' that list the users, the processes are still in 'ps
aux' and visible in /proc. The same thing happens whether I use the
OpenSSH server or the one from www.ssh.fi. I've never had this happen
on any other system. I suspect it's a bug in RH 5.2 but I can't
upgrade because of a binary-only RPM that requires this version.
Any ideas?

Unfortunately not, unless it is possible to monitor and intercept the
signals of the processes the SSH server creates. For some reason
Linux doesn't seem to keep the PID's of dead or zombie processes as
other unices do. Not to discourage you, but you might get a better
answer on the linux-kernel mailing list.

Some of the other UNIXes have unique APIs (HP-UX, QNX), but many have nothing
at all. Kermit picks up the ones that have TIOCMGET automatically at compile
time. Others can be added if I find out about them.

Black Box used to sell a software package you could use on a Windows PC
(laptops are good for this) with two serial ports (which worked pretty well as
long as the ports were both driven by 16550A or above). You could scroll
back a long way, log to files, etc -- a lot more than the typical protocol
analyzer could do.
Anyway, there was some recent discussion on the Linux-Serial mailing list
about software to control the RTS signal, so you're not alone. I'll add
this to my to-do list.

Just wait a while and the ones you are not using will get swapped out. On
my machine, three of the six are swapped out and consume no bytes. The
other three are still there (because I used them recently) and have not
been swapped out (because I have 512Megabytes of RAM), and they take
408Kilobytes each. When the system needs the memory space, it will swap
them out too.

Subject: linking issues with gcc on linux
Date: Thu, 05 Oct 2000 21:45:59 GMT
Hi:
I have a issue with gcc linking in linux and need your help:
I have built an apache extension module which I need to link with apache
web
server.
The library was built and link successfully in a solaris machine. I can
build the same
library in a linux system with the same flags and version of gcc
compiler, but when I
linked the apache module with the apache server, the linkers put the
module into a
.bss segment , rather than a .data segment, hence the server failed to
start since it
refered to a 'null' module which it exepcted an initialized data
segment.
Here are the details: the linux machine is named 'roadrunner'
[pyang@roadrunner /bin]$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.2/specs
gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
[pyang@roadrunner /bin]$
The apache module I added is named: mod_ct_auth.c, the routines are
archived into
a library: libct_apache_plugin.a
I can see the module is bulilt and the library is linked without errors:
<=== modules/example

However, here is the problem, the following is the output from nm:
[pyang@roadrunner src]$ nm ./httpd |grep ct_auth
080c3ca0 B ct_auth_module
[pyang@roadrunner src]$
The symbol 'ct_auth_module' has a 'B' associated with it, which i think
it means bss
(uninitialized data space) symbol.
Here is output from a solaris machine(venom):

looking at the result of nm, symble 'ct_auth_module' has a 'D'

which means 'data object symbol', and all assocated symbles are linked

Does anyone know why the linker behaviro is different on unix and linux,
especially,
why the module 'ct_auth_module' is put into the bss section of the httpd

whereas the same module is put into the data section of the httpd in

Any advice is appreciated.
