Doesn't look good. You've got backups?
What services were you running?
Were you exporting SMB shares over your Internet connection? What
directories and/or filesystems were you exporting?
Have you been tracking GNU/Linux security updates? There are always new
compromises being found, some nastiness in BIND last week.

I solved my problem in the mean time. I cooked my own kernel and forgat a
PPP option... There is not only the general PPP switch (was switched on) but
also a asynchronas mode for PPP (yes indeed: switched off...) to work with a
modem ( there's also a synschrone mode for ISDN)
After correcting I can connect to wanadoo, a regular provider again.
Byetheway: the respons Marvin (mpierce) helped me to find it: after
reinstalling kdenetwork I had same problem, so I figured problem must be
deeper in the system. That took me to check kernel configuration.
Benjamin: I hope you have same problem as I, so it is solved now...

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi there,
I want to know the name of the function that kills a buffer in Xemacs. I
edit several files in extra frames and can close a frame with a
displayed file but it still is in the buffer list of the other frames.
But I want to close a frame WITH the buffer of the displayed file
equally destroyed. Can someone give me a hint?
Thanks a lot and greetings from Berlin

Check your mailcap.order file, and put the commands you want first in
there, so the new additions (k-this and k-that) end up not being
called unless they are exclusive providers of a mime-type.

So, basically, you'd prefer a program to read your mind and guess at
what you want where rather than follow a simple set of rules that is
easily controllable?
Sounds like you do want Windows.

Maybe we're all looking at the wrong thing, take a look at joliet

If the rules are the same for the larger part of the software packages
that one installs (e.g. GNU tar balls, RPMs or Debian packages), then
it's ok for the installation process to put bits and things everywhere
in a controlled, reversible and documented manner.

Yes, but he is already running an NT Domain, in which case he should

perhaps you told mkswap to do it to a non-existant partition? run

OK, hint following: you can find out the name of functions bound to
keys by saying C-h k <key sequence>, so you'd want to try
C-h k C-x C-k or C-h k C-x 5 0.

The ability, I have found to toggle several values using xset is the
difference for me with X4. I have a laptop which uses energy star
compliancy and a default timeout to blank the screen after a set amount of
time goes by. I use a rather hefty xset string in my xinitrc to stop X
blanking. Mine uses xset to turn off user screen blanking as well as
turning off energy star compliancy which blanks the monitor as well. The
switch for that one is xset -dpms. I also turn off the annoying bell using
xset -b. If you want to see what things are at a default level and how
different switches affect the server, you can use xset q.

I don't know about recursively, but 'dos2unix' is probably the tool
you want. If you're on a Red Hat clone (i.e. you're using RPMs) you
may find it by searching at RPMfind <URL:http://rpmfind.net/>.

Hi folks,
I have Mandrake 7.2 with KDE 2. Default resolution was 800x600 on my
Voodoo 3 2000 card. I wanted to change that while logged in with my name,
but guess what happened; When I selected 16 bit, 1024x768 on DrakeConf a
screen full of rainbows and penguins and a dialogue with a countdown
asking me if the screen was OK. Well since everything was fine I answered
YES. OK, that Switched my desktop resolution to something I can't tell.
All I can see is the mouse. Nothing else. Background color is dominant
and blured all over the screen.
OK I used the root account to set the res. to 16 bit, 1280x1024, same
thing again.
Than I switched to CTRL-ALT-F1 logged in as root and I started looking
for any ".x" that contained "user = root" to manually change res. and
refresh rate. No luck. Here's where somebody can come in and tell me what
the name of file.

I am trying to install Red Hat 7.0 on a machine that now has Windows 95.
The machine has a 133 Mhz AMD 586 on a 33 Mhz motherboard with 8 Meg of RAM.
I plan to upgrade the RAM eventually to 64 Meg. When I run the install
program anaconda exits on a signal 15. I have seen posts about signal 11
and 7 indicating a hardware problem but no mention of signal 15. Is this
because I only have 8 meg or is there some other kind of hardware problem?
I have installed Linux on a similar machine with 64 meg with no problem.

Subject: Memory leak?
Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2000 11:53:31 -0500
I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on this.
I've noticed that I seem to have a memory leak somewhere in my system.
Over the course of 72 hours or so, the memory used on my system goes
from 72 MB to 225 MB. No one needs to be logged into the workstation
for this to happen. Does anyone know a utility to tell me what is using
this memory? Top does not show that the memory is in use by any
process, but it does show that the memory is unavailable.
My system is running the 2.4.0-0.37smp kernel from RedHat (same problem
with the shipping RedHat 2.4.0-0.26smp kernel, hence the upgrade) and
Redhat 7.0. The system is using autofs, nfs, and nis, and
unfortunately, it is acting as a server so I can't very well turn off
services for 72 h at a time. I'm also using tripwire extensively, and
I'm fairly certain that I haven't been hacked.
If anyone has any ideas about what could be causing this (I did turn off
rhnd --that's not it), I'd appreciate the insight.
Thanks!
-Greg

Subject: Installing Linux
Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2000 17:01:32 GMT
Greetings,
I would like to install Linux (Mandrake Linux 7.2 to be exact) on my
hard drive which is partitioned in multiple 2Gb partitions and
considering that it would be installed on the third partition (an
extended partition I think), it would be passed the 1024e cylinder. I
would like to know if it is possible to install (and boot) Linux passed
the 1024e cylinder. If it is not possible to boot Linux from �so far�,
could I still install it on that partition and boot from a floppy disk
to bypass the 1024e cylinder problem. And if I boot from a floppy disk
every time I wish to boot in Linux, I would like some to confirm me that
it wouldn�t change anything if I do a fdisk /mbr to boot my Windows
without having to go through LILO every time I boot my computer.
Thank you.

Subject: problem with screen
Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2000 18:08:45 +0100
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello every body,
I'm using "screen" application for viewing the output of many
applications launched in background.
I wish to run screen in my startup file like "/etc/rc.d/rc.local".
The problem is that I get the following errror message
"Must be connected to a terminal"
I put the following line in rc.local:
screen <mybinaryfile>
I even tried with some other options of screen:
screen -m -d <mybinaryfile>
I don't have the error message but I don't have any
running application in memory for my binary file.
Do I missed something? Do I have to write something
in the /root/.screenrc file?
Any help will be welcomed,
Thanks in advance,
Pat
