'Ctrl-x Ctrl-c' exits emacs whether in a VT, in an xterm, or under X. He
appears to have misread the instruction as telling him he could exit with
Ctrl-x _or_ Ctrl-c.

Just 'cause you change a value does not require an "export new $PATH".

Date: Wed, 27 Dec 2000 12:27:17 GMT
I am running sendmail 8.9.3 on RedHat Linux 6.2
I want to move the mail server to another box, and am wondering if the
following will work...
copy the following files from the old server to the new server...
/etc/aliases
/etc/sendmail.cw
/etc/mail/*
/home/*
/var/spool/mail/*
(And to get all of the users...)
/etc/passwd
/etc/passwd-
/etc/shadow
/etc/shadow-
/etc/group
/etc/group-
/etc/gshadow
/etc/gshadow-
(don't know if there are any of the above that are not needed...)
run all of the appropriate commands (newaliases, make on the /etc/mail
dir, etc...)
Is is as simple as that, or am I missing something or is there an even
easier way... I don't want to recreate all of the users by hand, or lose
any mail they haven't picked up...
Thanks in advance...

A "pts" is a pseudo-terminal. When you connect to a system via telnet, or
a terminal window in a windowing environment, the device driver for that
terminal is a copy of the pts driver. These are dynamically created in
/dev/pts/ (which is why you mount that virtual filesystem in your /etc/fstab).
It's a "pseudo-terminal" because it's software, not a real hardware terminal.

This does not work in Slack. This is because slack requires root passwd to
go into singleuser mode. Try booting with a linuxdist on a floppy (like
LOAF, linux on a floppy). Then mount your root filesystem and edit
/etc/shadow on that partition. Remove the string behind the first : which is
the password (encrypted of course). Now you save this file and reboot your
machine without the floppy. Now you should be able to login as root without
a password. After this you should change rootpwd!!!

Hello,
good idea, but it won't work if the kernel produces some messages and
the info you try
to grep could be lost.
Try:
df -P | grep dev | awk '{print $2}' | awk '{ used += $1} END {print
"Total Size of all HD (MB): " int(used / 1024)}'
That should work...:-)

Have you compiled vfat support? Either statically in your kernel or as a
module. If you have it as a module try 'modprobe vfat' or something like
that.

I suggested hardware problems in another reply, which seems plausible,
but someone emailed me (I hope he emailed you too, since I'm not
having problems) with the suggestion to turn off all power management
features. This sounds like a very good idea.
Several machines that I own have power management settings in the
BIOS, and I've read on usenet that Linux can use these (an quick man
-k found apm and apmd). I'd try turning them off.
A quick "ps auxw | grep apm" shows that I have apmd running (almost
standard Mandrake 7.1), I think I'll kill it since I have the power
management shut off in the BIOS.
root@zaphod# /etc/rc.d/init.d/apmd stop
Shutting down APM daemon: [ OK ]
It'll come back on the next reboot though, so:
root@zaphod# pwd
/etc/rc.d
root@zaphod# find . -name [KS]*apmd* -print

../rc1.d/K84apmd

(try that in Windows!)
Other options would be to remove the links to /etc/rc.d/init.d/apmd
entirely, make the script unexecutable (chmod) (ugly messages at boot
time), or, and I've not tried this in Linux, but it works in some
other flavors of Unix, change the link names from "S16apmd" to
"s16apmd".

Ever use WordStar? I use Joe in its "jstar" invocation, which uses
the old WordStar keystrokes. If you already know WS (or its various
clones including the editor in most Borland compilers) it's a
zero-length learning curve.
For some things I use vi (actually vim). Never learned emacs.

They can be left behind by emacs.
They're not too hard to get rid of once you know how, here's three
ways:
jbuchana@zaphod$ ls -l

-rw-r--r-- 1 jbuchana jbuchana 0 Dec 27 09:33 #foo#
jbuchana@zaphod$ rm \#foo\#
jbuchana@zaphod$ ls -l
total 0
jbuchana@zapho
or:
jbuchana@zaphod$ ls -l
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 jbuchana jbuchana 0 Dec 27 09:34 #foo#
jbuchana@zaphod$ rm "#foo#"
jbuchana@zaphod$ ls -l
total 0
jbuchana@zaphod$
or:
jbuchana@zaphod$ ls -l
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 jbuchana jbuchana 0 Dec 27 09:35 #foo#
-rw-r--r-- 1 jbuchana jbuchana 0 Dec 27 09:35 bar
jbuchana@zaphod$ rm -i *
rm: remove `bar'? n
rm: remove `#foo#'? y
jbuchana@zaphod$ ls -l

Hi
Has someone of you all there a small example of sending instructions
over a serial or parallel port? I need a simple idea (in c/perl) just
to set some lines high or low.
pls mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] because I am not here so often...
