So folks have mentioned "xcopilot" and "POSE" as palm emulators. Can
anyone whose used both contrast the two? Why would I chose one over the

The range is not interesting. LOOK at the sequence. You will clearly see
the cache effects.

Use your brain. How come you had expectations of what the cache would
do before when you were convinced that "linux disables the L2 cache"
yet now you don't have any expectations from a perfectly simple code
that is designed to show cache effects to the maximum? Or was the
originator of the thread not you? (it has expired here).

Its easy to configure the MRTG

OK .. I'll relent. Look at the sequence. You should see that the
speeds against blocksize go something like this:
-----
\
\
---------
\
\
\
----------
/\ /\
L1 size L2 size
(speed increasing up the vertical axis, blocksize to the right)
You see, while you are writing and rewriting a block that fits entirely
in the L1 cache, it will go at L1 speeds. As you start writing blocks
larger than fit in the L1, but still fit i the L2 cache, you will
go at L2 speeds. And so on.
There! That hardly took a lot of thinking! You should see your cache
sizes quite clearly. You will also see the cache speeds, but that's not
so interesting. If you like, I'll send you a set of sample results.

Subject: tar questions
Date: Tue, 09 Jan 2001 23:41:07 GMT
Hi all,
first sorry for my name, is just for anti spam and privacy reason.
second sorry if this group is wrong, couldn't find a better one.
Questions:
1. is there any newsgroup specially for backup programs, special under
linux?
2. where can i get the latest version of gnu tar, in SuSE 7.0 i have
1.13.17, often 1.13.18 is mentioned, on gnu.org i can only find 1.13,
somewhere else i saw 1.13.18 for alpha.
3. i want tar to collect the daily incremental backups on one tape (for
each day) - that works -; when this tape is full tar should rewind and
restart the job. anyone any suggestion how to do this? - for those of
you who want to know why, we'd like to combine hardware-stress-saving
and a longer history in changed files by doing one weekly full and
daily
differential backups. one tape can hold three full or plenty diff.
backups. to have automated run the above routine is best i can think
of.
4. i'd like a (email) notification when the tape is overwritten, how?
5. how can i have the tape labeled and checked during the day -
automatical - so that in the night there would be the right tape in the
drive? (email to user when tape is not changed until 12 o'clock).
6. is there any possibility to get qfa or a file list with block
position for manual direct file access?
7. is there a common possibility to add crc checksums to an archive or
the files within, to be able to check correctnes or to overcome faults?
any suggestions to use other backup tools are welcome, tar looked fine
for us because it's free, widespread, and simple.
thanks for any help,
Bernhard S. (test1test)

Check the Firewall-HOWTO for using a PC as a firewall. You'll need
two NIC cards in the PC to make it work. I'd recommend using a
router instead. I have a 4 port Linksys router that took less than
an hour to unpack, connect, and configure. There's also a 1 port
model if you already have an ethernet hub. The 1-port runs about
$100 and the 4-port about $150. It has a built in web server
for configuration, so all you need is a browser.
This is a pretty basic router, and it's probably only good enough
for home or small office where you're mostly doing outgoing connections.
If you need to do a lot of multi-host web and email service to the
Internet, you'll need a more advanced setup with two full blown
routers. One in front of your web service hosts and the other in
front of your private hosts.

Subject: Need help with process switching
Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2001 01:04:55 +0100
Hi
I've read several FAQ's and Newbie guides, and searched the web for an
answer, but alas I couldn't find one. Hopefully this will be an easy
one for the Linux experts present.
I'm trying to configure a Linux RedHat 7.0 server to be used for
running a CounterStrike gameserver.
Linux is up and running in text-mode just like I want it (don't want a
GUI hogging the resources). I need to be able to administer the server
remotely, and my Telnet, FTP, and WebMin connections are running fine
as well.
The gameserver itself (HLDS) is a process you simply start and then
forget about, unless you want to issue commands to it, reload a map
etc. I start it with: nohup hlds &
This runs it as a background task and makes sure it keeps running when
I log off the terminal. So far so good.
My problems are related to process switching:
Bringing the process back to foreground:
When I log back in later I'm unable to bring the gameserver process to
the foreground again. I tried the 'fg' command, but can't make it
work. It demands a job_number, but 'ps' only gives me the PID and
'jobs' lists nothing. I read somewhere that I need to use the same tty
session that started the job, but how is that possible? I can't just
kill the server and start a new one - there must be a way to do this.
Putting the process to the background:
The only information I can find on this states using Ctrl-z. However
this also stops the process and thus the server - not good. Isn't
there a way to put the process back in the background without stopping
it? Seems weird.
Oh, one more thing: In case of power failure the server restarts
itself. Where do I put the command to make sure the gameserver also
starts up on it's own?
Hope someone here can help :)
Sincerely,
0:) Innocence

This is interesting. I would think that once done it would be a no-brainer in
terms of keeping it going. However, initial configuration may be fun.
The first question is: can the Palm actually manage an LDAP directory, or
does it simply have the ability to read from one?

You could enable logging on your external interface via ipchains (or whatever
you are using), but I wouldn't recommend it. Rather, install Squid and use it
as a proxy. It has nice logging and there are several Squid reporters floating
around.

The BSD style uses Mail (with a capital M) as a the command line
mail reader. It's the same as mailx under SYSV style systems like
Solaris. There's actually a /usr/ucb/Mail on Solaris boxes that's
a link to /bin/mailx. On most systems /bin/mail with a lower case
M is a very basic program used primarly by sendmail as a delivery
agent. On most linux systems that I've seen, Mail, mail, and mailx
are all the same program, but there's no standard, so you'll just have
to try them. My slakware 7.1 box has /bin/mailx linked to
/usr/bin/Mail.

Yah, that sums up my experience after with farting with the damn thing
for a couple days. Be nice if the docs said that. BTW, the Virtual
keyword in XFree86Config is on the XFree86 online docs (on xfree.org),
but don't seem to be anywhere on my PC (redhat 7 distro). Phfft.
Not to be snide, but it's things like this that make Winblows users
stick with Winblows. Customizing everything is nice for some folks,
but it really sucks to spend a couple days on a chicken-turd problem
like this.
And FWIW, the "Why X sucks" chapter in the Unix Haters Handbook really
struck a chord in me. I'm a consultant who spends 6 months at any one
company. It seems every company is just a little bit different, and I
spend a couple days dicking with my X config to get it, ahh, not
*right*, but *close enough*.

If there really is no ide-cd module, then its probably built into the
kernel. I don't know how suse ships their kernels (as far as what support
it is configured for out-of-the-box), so you may have to recompile a
custom kernel with the appropriate support.
To tell the kernel to use scsi emulation, you can add the line
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
to your lilo.conf file in the image section for the kernel to be used. The
"hdc" part may have to be modified to point to the correct drive. hdc
would mean that the cd writer is master on the
2nd ide interface (hdb for slave on first ide, and hdd for slave on 2nd,
etc.).
You can try just adding the above line if by some chance suse has the
support already built-in, but I wouldn't be suprised if you do need to
recompile a kernel.
BTW: The append line would disable the use of ide-cd for that drive, and enable
the use of ide-scsi, whether or not ide-cd is a module, or built into the
kernel.

I've got a new printer which can attach either through USB or parallel

Hi,

Boot via your boot disk and log in as root. From there, mount your hard
drive under /mnt/hd (or whatever you want to call it), open up
/mnt/hd/etc/passwd (replace hd with whatever you mounted your hard drive
to, of course, and always use vi), remove the password entry for root,
and then reboot without your boot disk. Login as root--you will be
prompted for a password, leave it empty. Then, set a password for root
just like you normally would. And from now on, please try to find the
answer yourself.
