Ok, here is the problem.
I have 2 files in the /etc directory on a Linux RedHat 6.2 server. One is
named "test.prn", the other "test2.prn". They both are the same size, both
the exact same information. The difference in the 2 are that one
(test2.prn) was created via a Unix/Linux based accounting package and the
other (test.prn) was made in vi and the opened in a programming editor
through Samba and the contents of the first one (test2.prn) pasted in. So
they both show as 801 bytes, they both have the same permissions, owner, and
group, and they are both in the same directory. So now... why when I print
the first one via lpr (lpr -Ppos1prn test.prn), it prints perfectly with all
the line feeds and everything, but when I print the second one
(lpr -Ppos1prn test2.prn) does it totally ignore the line feeds and prints
everything right on top of each other on one line!? Here is the layout...
test.prn - created in vi and contents pasted in, root owner, root
group, -rw-rw-rw- permissions.
test2.prn - created via the accounting package, originally a user owner and
group but has been changed to a root owner and group, -rw-rw-rw-
permissions.
Both are being sent to a Epson TM-U200D receipt print that is hanging off a
Windows 95/98 machine and I'm going through the servers lpd to the Samba
server and out to the share on the computer.
Things already checked:
1. Checked and rechecked printcap file.
2. Checked lpr command line swtiches.
3. Checked with the printer on 2 different computers, one Win95, one Win98
4. Checked file format in a programming editor via straight text and in hex
Anyone have any ideas on what I can check?

How do you start an X session from the command line? For example, to
launch just the x server with an xterm. I'm guessing something like
XFree86 (something). I just don't know the format. And is there a man
page for this specifically? I must be missing it.

Andre,
It really depends on what distro your running (i.e. RedHat, Mandrake,
Caldera, etc.) and what subject area your question covers (i.e.
networking, security, X windows, installation, etc). For questions
regarding specific distributions your better off posting to that distro's
news group. Example:
linux.redhat.install
alt.os.linux.mandrake
For general questions for specific area's post to:
comp.os.linux.hardware
comp.os.linux.networking
comp.os.linux.security
comp.os.linux.setup
comp.os.linux.x
comp.os.linux.misc
Hope this helps.

You can set it in /etc/inetd.conf by adding the -u option to the
line which starts ftpd, so it looks something like:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd wu.ftpd -l -i -a -u 002
Or, probably better, use the "defumask" command in the configuration
file /etc/ftpaccess, like: "defumask 002"

Could you kindly elaborate on what needs to go into /etc/exports and
/etc/fstab, from /etc/dfs/dfstab. Looks like the info in /etc/dfs/dfstab as
per your suggestion is being divided into the above 2 files.
One more thing, i don't plan to export any of my file systems. So, if that
is the case what needs to be done on my end..

Linux / uClinux on Palm Vx ?
I read somewhere that uClinux allows Linux kernel 2.0 on Palm devices,
including Palm Vx. Is this correct? I visited the uClinux web site for
instructions, but there was none. There was a feable attempt at creating
a FAQ, but they failed miserably; a sad disappointment. Has anyone
successfully installed uCliux on a Palm deviced? Specifically, Palm Vx?
How did you do it? Can you restore Palm OS afterwards? What can you do
on it? Can you install it onto an emulator for testing?
Thanks.

Your mistake is in applying your Solaris experience to Linux, which is
always a mistake. (Speaking as one who has used Solaris' cousin
UnixWare for years.)
Take it from one who has actually done benchmarks of software vs.
low-end hardware RAID (the Adaptec 2100S): Linux's software RAID is
impressively fast. In many cases, it's much faster than the hardware
RAID. (In particular, RAID 0 is much faster in software.)
Part of this is no doubt because my system has a 500 MHz processor and
the RAID card only has a 66 MHz (?) processor. In the bad old days of
double-digit main CPUs, hardware RAID might have done better against
software RAID.
Let's also not forget that people call it "Slowaris" for a reason...

Apologies for interrupting. The above is correct, _after_ you have
tried other resources, namely http://www.linuxdoc.org/. Also, the alt
hierarchy groups change rapidly, and not everyone has access to them
from their News server. So you won't necessarily be off-topic in the
comp.os groups.

I am using Netscape 6 and the only complaints at the moment are, that it
is very slow in starting up, about the same as Staroffice. The only
plugin I got working is flash, when I tried to use plugger, Netscape
won't start.

It's really only useful in the emulator, and as a technology demonstration.
It's a one-way install, once it's done you can't go back to Palm-OS.

Right. I'm not certain that the info wrt /etc/dfs/dfstab is correct
for 2.6; instead, I looked at the Solaris 7 version. /etc/exports
controls access on the server, so I think that's necessary. "man 8
exports" on the client or server should be enough to get started.
Also, "man1M share" on the Sun will tell if you need to list shared
volumes explicitly. If you need the Sun man pages, they're on
docs.sun.com. The NFS-HOWTO from http://www.linuxdoc.org/ (I really
should have a hotkey for them.) is a very good step-by-step
introduction... Linux and Solaris NFS are similar enough that most of
what works for one works for the other... provided it's NFS version 2,
NFS version 3 needs some modifications on Linux... but they're
described in the FAQ at the URL below. (The one on the left.)

Grab the 2100TN manual and go through the control panel ON THE PRINTER and
ditch the security settings. No you should be able to use the printer
again.
No go to the HP site and get the lo down on JetDirect. There are serval
"ports" (RAW, TEXT etc, not IP Ports) that can be used for printing from a
*nix host/server. Windows clients just install the driver and point in the
right direction ;-)
We ahve serval 2100TN's at work and have specified different sub-nets for
access but I'm 150km from the nearest printer at the moment :-/ Just read
the manual and the stuff online - HP are quite thourough :-)

Try booting from the floppy and rerunning whatever lilo configuration
app you have. On a Slack system you can do this through the setup
program. I think linuxconf will also allow you to do this. You might
be successfull just by doing a make install on the kernel. It may be a
hosed up boot sector so you are better off reinstalling lilo and going
from there.

If you're looking for an ethernet card that you can pop in and will work
the first time and that doesn't cost too much, try the Netgear FA310TX.
It is only 10mbs, but this is good enough for home. I got a home network
kit for 69$ which included two cards and a hub, the same price for a low
end 3com.
I struggled with the Linksys EtherFast 10/100 and never got it working so
I through in the towel. Don't believe Redhat's hardware compatility site,
it is NOT easy to install. I spent a whole day and never got it working.
The Netgear FA310TX I got working in no time at all.
Hope this helps some
