Looks like your $DISPLAY environment variable isn't set. Normally, in X,
this is set to the address of the X server (e.g. ':0.0'); perhaps your
user's shell startup scripts are unsetting it for some reason? Of
course, then you wouldn't be able to run any other X programs from an X
terminal either.
I'm using sawfish right now on Debian unstable, and it works fine -
well, sawfish-ui still dies, but that's due to database library
brokenness during the glibc upgrade and I kind of expect these sorts of
things from unstable. :) sawfish-ui has certainly worked in the past.

Date: Sat, 11 Nov 2000 15:32:09 -0800
Hi, all Linux grus,
Can anyone help me to make the "rlogin" works behind a firwall?
I mean I have a redhat Linux 7.0 box sits behind another redhat 6.0
Linux box which does all the IP-Masquerading work to outside world. The
redhat 6.0 box can do everything of course including the rlogin as well.
The redhat 7.0 box can do "telnet", "ftp", "real audio" and "http" but
can never do a "rlogin". Everytime I tried to rlogin to a remote machine
from it I got an error message: Permission Denied. I tried to add a
line: /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_rlogin into my IP-Masquerading script but
it didn't work out.
I appreciate for any help in adavance.
Bob

I too have experienced this problem many times and posted as well.
I cannot solve your problem only tell you that this seems to be something
to do with either pam or wvdialup in KDE as Gnome is rock solid with its
dialer.
Whenever this occurs, I remove the kdenetwork package and reinstall. This
seems to fix the problem.

In your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file, in the section "module", you need to
add a line that says "load freetype". You do have to be running xfree-4.x
for this to work.
My example section shown below:
Section "Module"
Load "GLcore"
Load "dbe"
Load "dri"
Load "extmod"
Load "fbdevhw"
Load "pex5"
Load "glx"
Load "pex5"
Load "record"
Load "xie"
#start MRP 08.11.00
Load "freetype"
#end MRP
Hope this solves the problem.

Hello everyone,
I am having a problem with Red Hat linux 6.1. After installing it, LILO set
itself up automatically. I did "fdisk /mbr" after booting Windows 95 (BTW
it's OSR2) and I tried rebooting it up. After Windows started, after logging
in and stuff, my computer locks. This happens just before the desktop shows
up. When I checked with fdisk (F8, Command Prompt only) I got 2 disks
IDENTICAL with the one I have win95 on. So in fdisk (in change currrent
fixed disk drive) I got something like this:
(I made this table in Arial size 12. Sorry if the spaces, tabs, etc. screwed
up on your end)
Disk Drv Mbytes Free Usage
1 2002 100%
C: 2002
2 813 100%
3 2002 100%
D: 2002
The disk #1 is my Win95, #2 has 2 partitions - Linux&Swap and #3 is the
ghost or mirror or whatever you'd like to call it.
Can anyone help me with removing this ghost???

There are a qazillion ways to do it. For starters, you can simply configure
netscape's own built in email client to do.

If you have Xwindows, any file manager should be able to delete it. If not,

Hi,
I use slackware 7, and I'm pretty happy with it. I've used it to set up
a firewall on one machine, and I use it for my workstation as well.
There's one thing that sorta ticks me off though - the terminal going
blank after 15 minutes. What I'd really like is for the monitor to go
into power-saving mode after 40 minutes, but if that's not possible I
want to disable the terminal blanking altogether. How would I go about
doing either of these things?

Subject: Problems with sendmail
Date: Sun, 12 Nov 2000 03:43:47 GMT
Hi,
I have a slackware 7 based internet gateway, (using IPmasq) and I want
to use it as a mail server. I want people who have accounts on the
machine to be able to receive mail there, and I want mail on my internal
network to be sent through my gateway.
So far, I can send mail through my gateway - if I tell netscape that my
outgoing mail server is 192.168.0.1 I have no problem. However, mail
can't be received on the gateway, or through the gateway. If I send a
message to my account on the gateway (from a yahoo webmail address), it
gets bounced with the following error:
Final-Recipient: rfc822;[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Action: failed
Status: 5.0.0
Diagnostic-Code: smtp;550 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Relaying denied
[No, blahblah.yi.org is *not* my machine.. hehe ;-]
I've looked at the documentation on sendmail.org about this error, but
it doesn't seem too helpful. It basically says that you can specify
which hosts should be allowed to relay e-mail through your server, and
that relaying means that the server will accept mail from
[EMAIL PROTECTED] for [EMAIL PROTECTED], where ppp.qqq.org is not
the local machine. Of course, no, I don't want that. But I do want a
user on my machine to be able to receive mail from anywhere (initially,
I'll look at spam-blocking options later - for now I just want it to
work).
My connection is a cable connection, which *does* have a dynamic IP. I
use yi.org to provide a static domain for my server, which is referred
to here as blahblah.yi.org, but that's not the real name. With yi.org,
you do have the option of an MX record - and my yi.org domain does have
one, and it does point to me correctly. Here is the output of an type MX
nslookup on my domain:
Server: proxy4.rdc1.ab.wave.home.com
Address: 24.XX.2.XX
blahblah.yi.org preference = 10, mail exchanger = blahblah.yi.org
yi.org nameserver = connubialis.crackerjack.net
yi.org nameserver = fumo-viridus.crackerjack.net
blahblah.yi.org internet address = 24.XX.244.XX
connubialis.crackerjack.net internet address = 139.142.244.64
fumo-viridus.crackerjack.net internet address = 139.142.244.63
The IP adresses, are in actuality, correct. Is everything else ok? Can
somebody please help me with this?

It will be hard wich such a poor hardware.... :-/
It's possible, though. Look for an old 3.x Slackware distribution

huue ! with only 40Mb HD, it's even difficult to install linux. With
double boot it's a real challenge ! But perhaps with a tiny distrib
like tomsrbt that fit on a single floppy disk ?
BTW, dosemu can emulate ms-dos and clipper apps run perfectly with
it. I succesfully tested it on my computer: it works fine even with
*.exe and data on a linux native ext2 file system. So you don't need
any dedicated ms-dos partition.
p> Thank you.
Best regards from France.
PS: some time ago i've red something about tiny distribs. perhaps you'll
be able to find it on the web and collect more explanation. But,
my apologizes, i do not remember where.

I have an 800x600 pixel display, but the default size of most windows
seems to be 1024x768. Anyways, the file close buttons, etc, all are on
the upper-right corner of the display where they are off of the screen.
Q1: Can I enforce applications to initially display themselves only on
the screen, and not half off of the screen?
Q2: Is the a keyboard sequence for resizing a window? I have heard of
right-clicking and dragging to resize, but perhaps that is KDE...

The _only_ network protocol you should have installed is TCP/IP. You will
also need the Client for Microsoft Networking, and File and Print Sharing.

You can generate your own module by making sure that you select the smbfs
network file system when you next recompile your kernel. If you can't find
it in the menus, you can manually edit the .config file and make sure you
have CONFIG_SMB_FS=m specified.
