OK, thanks, I did some more research so let me correct what I said before.
It seems that exiting bash-2 will kill a background job if the job was
suspended (stopped), but bash will leave a running background job alone.
Other shells will act differently, for example zsh says it will terminate
suspended jobs and send SIGHUP (hangup signal, usually fatal) to running
background jobs. So the rule is, read you shell's documentation or
always use nohup.

For anyone who was following this thread I did a little digging
in /usr/src/linux/fs/affs and I think I found the answer.
Apparently old Amiga scsi drives could have 256b blocks, which is not
supported by the driver. I think my scsi drive is one of the above. I
might have a look into this, but I think finding a working amgia is
probably quicker :-)

I have a question about changing a users root. Basicly I don't want them
browesing around the whole filesystem. When they ftp in I want them to go
directly to their home directory and they can't move down from there.
eg have /home/user be / for the user.

I need to find a Linux compatible Parallel port ethernet adapter. I
recieved an old 486 laptop that doesn't have any PCMCIA slots. The only
way I'll be able to hook it to my LAN is with a parallel port ethernet
adapter.
I've look on Ebay, but all people are selling are Xircom brand ones,
which I've heard don't work.
I need to find an Accton PocketEthernet, D-Link DE-600 or DE-620, or a
Realtek brand one. Does anyone know of an online store that has an
old-stock of these?
Thanks,

Check out the chroot command, understand that there are ways around
the chroot command. But I can't remember them now.

Your local subnet is a private IP range and won't be recognized on
the internet. A Linux machine that does have a real IP address
routed by your ISP can perform NAT for the subnet but you need
to set up IP-MASQ instead of normal routing. For a private
link to another company you would have to arrange with the
network admin at the other end whether they want to route to
your private range or if you need to NAT there as well. The
easiest way is to connect both routes and your subnet to a
single box. Use the ethernet interface of this box as the default
gateway for all the machines on the local subnet. This box
should be configured with a default route of the internet
connection plus a route to the other company's net. If you
don't NAT for the other company, they will need to add a route
back for your network for the return packets.

I have a Psion 5mx, 16 Meg RAM, 10 Meg ROM (various apps), . Has a serial
port and comes with serial cable. I transfer files using between the PDA
and my computer using y-modem. Though small, but larger than a Palm it
has a useable keyboard and a 320x200 dispay. Do a search in your Google
or your favorite search engine for Psion 5mx. You might like it, but it is a
tad pricey.

Subject: Re: sound card
Date: Fri, 03 Nov 2000 05:29:49 GMT
Is this a new install or an upgrade? I upgraded from 6.2 to 7.0 and
had the same problem. What happened was that the new kernel
recognized my USB ports (which prior kernels didn't) and caused a
conflict in the BIOS. I had my sound cards IRQ set to legacy/non-pnp.
I changed it to auto and was able to set it up under sndconfig after
that..
It doesn't make sense that it would work that way but it did. I had
IRQ 3 setup as legacy/non-pnp too and I also changed that to auto.
Maybe it was a combination of the 2.
And one more thing. I tried to re upgrade when I had this problem and
I would get a sig 11 error while booting with a boot disk or the
CDROM. This was also fixed by the bios changes.

I think he wants the Linux "desktops" to authenticate against a PDC, right?
If so the poster should investigate pam_smb. Alternatively, he could just
as easily configure NIS.

When linux boots it is setting the system clock from the hardware clock.
after you set the system clock with the date command, use the hwclock
command to set the hardware clock.

It could also be that you have a "special" via822 sound card. I've
seen onboard video cards (ATI Rage) that were special too. The card
was modified by the manufacturer and the windows drivers for it had to
be provided by the manufacturer (and they only made one for Win98).
Contact Abit.

Subject: Black Screen of Death
Date: Fri, 03 Nov 2000 06:18:54 GMT
Looks like Red Hat 7 has it's own counterpart to the notorious hallmark
of Win OS's. I'm new to Linux so maybe I've done something wrong, but
here's my problem...
I performed a workstation class RH7 (with quite a few optional
packages) on a 12GB drive with a single 2GB FAT16 partition. I logged
on with Gnome as my window manager. Everything worked perfectly until
I logged out using the reboot option. I could not bring the system
back up, as it kept crashing on Gnome's GUI login.
Unable to fix the problem, I reinstalled from scratch and this time did
a custom install, which allowed me to login at the standard terminal.
I then ran "startx", but when I logged out with reboot, my next login
caused the black screen of death and a corrupt file system.
Does anyone have a clue what's going on and how I might fix it? Or has
anyone seen this behavior? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, here are my system configurations...
General:
========
Pentium II 350 128MB, Matrox Millenium G200 VC (maybe a problem with
XFree86 4.0 ????)
Install 1:
==========
Primary Slave 12GB drive (2GB FAT16 partition, RH7 Workstation Install)
Install 2:
==========
Primary Master 15GB Win2K / Primary Slave 12GB (2GB FAT16, Custom RH7
Install, LILO in boot sector)
