Having followed a number of threads on this forum (e.g. Linux vs
Windows 2000 for a statewide computer system?), Linux is certainly
thought to be very reliable.
Does anybody have any hard evidence of this? With the number of
web/mail/file/print servers out there that are running Linux, I would
have thought that there must be some availability figures out there
somewhere, but I've drawn a blank so far.
As a further question, is there any reason why a Linux desktop machine
should be any more/less reliable than a server machine?
I'd really appreciate any input.
Thanks,
Steve Bamford

Reply-To: "Bruce D. Meyer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I just upgraded an old RH5.2 box to 6.2, and now when I try to login, it
clears the screen as soon as I enter the user name. I can faintly see three
prompts that look as if I had failed to enter the correct username/password
combo three times. (in less than 1/2 a second) I have booted single, looked
at passwd, shadow, groups, all seem fine. I did nothing except an upgrade
install. I am guessing thi may be PAM related. (I said guessing, heck I
don't know) I never have the chance to even enter my password. It is
refusing me, the second I enter the username and hit enter. No chance for
even a password. linux single works fine, but can't find the problem.
Any help will be greatly appreicated. Email, REALLY appreciated.

Hi
The Linux SbLive drivers (I use Mandrake, but it has the Creative
emu10k1 module)
sometimes don't cooperate with the standard mixer control panels (like aumix
or KMix), especially for speakers connected to SPDIF output. I couldn't get
either CD audio or line-in (from my TV card) to work until I installed the
Digimix util from
http://perso.club-internet.fr/bea_raph/
It's a pain to install (you need to compile the Fltk libraries, which can be
tricky on some systems), but once I got that I can use Digimix to unmute my
SbLive mixers, then I can switch sources normally with aumix (aumix alone
dodn't work). Maybe this helps.

I don't think so. It says the jobs that fall into the *repeated* time
won't be run - and the first time around, the time isn't being
repeated. :-)

Yes, I know. The bit I was replying to said precisely that, using the
past tense and everything. My phrasing was, I don't know quite how to
put it, humourous counterpoint? ("switch to Debian" versus this
trivial change.)
Oh well. I should know better than to try subtle humour on Usenet. I
remember when `merely' labelling it with a smiley was enough. I don't
intend this as a flame, but - where does it go from here?

Whoooo that's overkill
You can do all with just one image labeled "l"
and appending the append string when you boot:
at the lilo prompt "l 1" = your maintance label
"l 3" = your text label
"l 5" = your grpahical image
And one of these can be just "l" (which you should choose as default)
since you can set the default runlevel in inittab

Wild guess: have you perhaps set a font in your .emacs file? If you have,
you could just comment that line out (put a semicolon at the beginning of
the line). Maybe this would let emacs start with the default font.

It is for web page scripting. It doens't do that. Why are you trying to
make it do that? If you want to make it read from a file, that is a
piece of cake, just look at the docs on their site. But you can't get

Ideally.
Methods to try --
1. If you're using LILO to boot, try
'linux single'
which in theory should start single-user mode.
This can be blocked at least two different ways --
a passworded LILO (which will ask for a password, IIRC,
if you try passing ANY options), and using 'sulogin'
in /etc/inittab, to require the root password. So it's
not quite the big security hole that it looks like...
2. If it turns out that 'sulogin' is actually being used
(I don't have a Slack 7.1 installation handy to check),
but a LILO password is *not*, try 'linux init=/bin/sh"
at the LILO prompt. This should bypass init completely,
and drop you into a shell. Don't forget to umount
everything before you reboot...
3. If LILO isn't being used at all, or its timeout is
too short -- you don't have enough time to provide options
before it asks for a login -- or its passworded, you'll
probably need to use a boot disk. Get one of the Slackware
boot disks, which hopefully either uses LILO (so you can
try 'linux root=/dev/hdXX' substituting the location
of your root partition), or has sufficient tools like mount
so you can hop in, mount partitions and edit things.
If you ever want to block this, look into BIOS options, and
see if you can disable / reorder the boot sequence, and
then require a password for changing the setup options.
Getting past THAT (BIOS locked down, *and* LILO password,
and, say, /bin/sulogin in inittab) might require opening up
the box and removing the CMOS battery for a short while,
assuming you didn't leave running any remotely exploitable
network daemons. ;-)
> for that matter. What I really need is a walk
> through of the process for removing or changing
> the root password. Any help is appreciated!
Once you're in, as root, you should be able to change the
password using /bin/passwd. If you managed to get the old root
mounted *as* root, 'passwd root' would work; if you went the
boot disk approach and it's mounted, say, under /mnt, you should
be able to do it via a chroot'd call ('chroot /mnt passwd root'
would in theory be the invocation -- if your hard-disk root were
mounted as /mnt. /bin/passwd looks in /etc, so you'd need to
fool it.)

Update: while I haven't yet been able to reproduce
Mr. van der Poel's observations, it appears that they

Tcl string searches, as opposed to Tkinter vs. Tk.
That's not so surprising as what I originally

Subject: strange problems with LILO
Date: Wed, 1 Nov 2000 19:30:51 +0100
Yeah, this is really strange...
I used to have my linux system on my /dev/hda disk, but then I bought a 30
MB disk and moved the system over to that one. However, the old disk is
still the /dev/hda one, which means that my system is now on /dev/hdb...
Anyway... I made some changes to my lilo.conf and run "/sbin/lilo", however,
when rebooting, I get "LIL", and then the screen is cleared, with a cursor at t
he bottom of the screen (unable to type)...
the strange part, is that if I boot using the old system.. (I haven't
removed the stuff from the old disk YET), and write back the old setting, it
works like it should... (yeah... the root disk is set to /dev/hdb1 in both
cases).
on the new system *all* my partitions are ReiserFS ones, and I'm using LILO
version 21.6, which handles ReiserFS boot disks...
here are two VERY important lines.... (I didn't include the rest of the lilo)
boot=/dev/hda
root=/dev/hdb1
anyway... with boot & root set to this in my old system, running lilo
installs a functional LILO, however doing the same on my new one, installs a
NON working LILO (as I told earlier)..
anyway... the rest of the file is same (since I just moved the whole system
over to the new disk/partitions)..
anyone who knows what might be wrong here??
thank you *very* much!

I suggest that you add a session on copyright and free software licensing
and attend it yourself. Neither FreeBSD nor Linux are in the public
domain. Very little free software is.

Hi all
I'm a newbie trying to install Linux. I have previously installed SuSE linux
without any problem.
But now I'm trying to install Caldera OpenLinux on the same PC (Previous
SuSE removed), but the installation can't seem to find the right resolution
mode to match my S3 Virge/GX2 card. For certain modes that somehow managed
to be displayed in the test mode, I get 2 screen side by side instead of
just one, and the display isn't perfect still. Pls help!!!
If not, can someone suggest which is the best Linux to be used as a web
server OS with minimal headaches?
Thanks
Gina
