Then, you didn't checked well enough!! (you didn't checked even
surfacely, since rm and cp have short man pages). It's all there for
sure.
(from my Spanish man-pages version):
man rm
[...]
OPCIONES DE POSIX
====> -f No pide confirmaci�n. No escribe mensajes de diagn�stico.
No produce un estado de salida de error si los
�nicos errores han sido ficheros que no existen.
-i Pide confirmaci�n. (En el caso de que se den tanto -f
como -i, el �ltimo que se escriba es el que tiene
efecto.)
====> -r or -R
Borra recursivamente �rboles de directorio.
[...]
man cp
OPCIONES DE POSIX
POSIX reconoce cuatro opciones y media:
-f Borrar ficheros destino existentes si se requiere. (Vea
m�s arriba.)
-i Pregunta si sobreescribir ficheros regulares destino
existentes. (Escribe una pregunta en stderr, y lee
la respuesta desde stdin. S�lo copia tras una respuesta
afirmativa.)
-p Preserva los permisos, el propietario y el grupo
(incluyendo los bits SUID y SGID) de los ficheros origi�
nales, m�s el tiempo de �ltima modificaci�n y el de �ltimo
acceso. En caso de que la duplicaci�n del
propietario o grupo falle, se limpian los bits setuid y
setgid. (Observe que despu�s de todo el fuente y
la copia pueden muy bien tener tiempos de �ltimo acceso
diferentes, puesto que la operaci�n de copia es
un acceso al fichero fuente.)
====> -R Copia directorios recursivamente, y hace lo correcto
cuando se encuentran objetos distintos de ficheros
ordinarios o directorios. (As�, la copia de un FIFO un un
fichero especial es un FIFO o un fichero espe�
cial.)
-r Copia directorios recursivamente, y hace algo sin
especificar con objetos distintos de ficheros ordinar�
ios o directorios. (As�, est� permitido, de hecho
recomendado, que la opci�n -r sea un sin�nimo de -R.
Sin embargo, un comportamiento tonto, como el de la
presente versi�n de GNU de cp (vea m�s abajo) no est�
prohibido.)
A final note:
man man

Yip ... and DTP packages are moving to word processing also! However,
neither does the other's job too well.
BTW To me, the key features of WP packages are outlining, forming books
from documents, and flagging text as either in a TOC or Index. These are
content management features, which (I think) are the key to WP.

xanim is very nice for the files that it supports. For some of the
others (I263 and MP43, for sure), try avifile at http://divx.euro.ru/.
It's still a bit rough around the edges, but is progressing very nicely.

Well, ATM really isn't used for "differing types of transmissions." It uses
the same type of "tranmission" everytime. Now, what is transported is
another matter. As far as educational institutions using ATM goes.. well,
they are just part of a pretty big crowd using ATM, including your local
DSL provider.

I live in the metropolitan kansas city area. Road runner was just
installed in my home. By doing /sbin/dhcpcd I get connected to the cable
modem. However in order to access roadrunner services I have to log in.
I have rrconf and rrlogind installed. Rrconf requires a username and
password which I can supply. It also requests the roadrunner login
server and that has me stumped. When I do /sbin/rrlogind I get:
rrlogind v2.35 started.
Oct 18 09:50:41 darkstar rrlogind[2078]: Established listener on port:
7770
Oct 18 09:50:41 darkstar rrlogind[2078]: Unable to connect to server:

Whe I do /sbin/hdcpdc the message in /var/log/messages is:
IP address changed to 24.166.186.197
Any help would be appreciated.

Subject: Looking for LDAP client (Windows NT) for using LDAP linux server instead of
PDC to login on NT host
Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2000 14:12:53 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello,
On a computerlaboratory of the Rijswijk Institute of Technology
(RITEsee www.thrijswijk.nl) we have a linuxhost (redhat 6.2 kernel
2.2-6) wich acts as a fileserver (homedirectories distribution) and
authenticationserver.
The linuxserver is approached by linux clienthosts.
The linux server uses NFS for distributing the homedirectories. and
LDAP (openldap 1.2.9-6) for the authentication on the fileserver and
on the clienthosts itself. So the authentication takes place from the
'login' prompt of the linux host.
We now want to use Windows NT-client hosts as well.
The LDAP server on the linux server will then have to be used instead
off a Windows NT PDC.
In other words, �t has to be possible to login from the login window
of the NT host by retrieving the user information from the LDAP server
and approach the homedirectories on the linuxserver..
What we haven't been able to find is a Windows NT-LDAPclient for the
authentication on the linuxserver and the Windows NT-clienthost
itself.
We have tried WAX500 but that seems to be a LDAP database client to
retrieve the database information itself and not siutable for
authentication purposes.
Our question now is:
"WHO KNOWS A SUITABLE Windows NT LDAPCLIENT FOR AUTHENTICATION ON A NT
HOST?""

The idea of the DHCP servers talking to each other is something that
Microsoft have bought in with the Windows 2000 server. It works along the
lines of have a virtual cluster of DHCP servers, only one server at a time
acts as the DHCP server however whenever it gives out a lease and updates
its database, this database is replicated to all the other servers in the
cluster.
As you rightly said it is redundancy and probably not necessary, however
when I posted the original message I didn't fully understand it myself but
since your message have made an effort to look into it.
What DHCP package under Linux would you recommend??

Thanks,
Noticed 2 more things
1) if I run mpg123 -c on Linux and non-linux ripped mp3's the Linux ones
have hundreds of 'sample clipped' messaages. The non-linux have few/none
2) mpg123 sounds better than XMMS. Stereo sounds better

Unfortunately, those are completely empty statements.
