I have been having a few problems compiling software which doesn't
include the likes of string.h in the included headers. Obviously the
author and other people have been able to compile them without having to
edit insert them all manually. Does any one know of a way to do this?
Am I missing a compiler argument or something?

If you are serious about this, and not merely shouting "FIRE!" in a
crowded theatre, you might wish to join some organizations, such as the
Free Software Foundation and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, that
are concerned with issues like this. They would, I am sure, gratefuly
receive any financial contributions you might choose to make.

Any file can be found by typing locate filename on most Linux systems
(man locate).
A slower way to find it might be to type find / -name filename -print
(man find).
inetd.conf is usually to be found in /etc

Are you running RedHat 7.0 by any chance? If so, inetd.conf has been
replaced by /etc/xinetd.conf and the files in /etc/xinetd.d. Read "man
xinetd" and "man xinetd.conf"

Rogg, i don't know if this will help, see if the 'text mode console' can
give you your 'magic' key while in X. I am pasting directly from the
freshmeat.net writeup of twin:
"Each terminal window provides the functions of a text-mode Linux
console. Twin runs on the Linux console, X11, libggi, and itself. It
supports multiple simultaneous displays, and can attach/detach each
display on the fly."

Hi list, thanks for reading!
I got some error messages after i had turned the DMA mode on (command
'hdparm -d1 -c1 /dev/hda'). The system runs very stabel before changing the
DMA mode. After i had changed the DMA-mode, all worked quite fine (reading
from disk with about 23 MB/sec), but after one day i got some error messages
during accessing the disks.

Subject: Rexec & Redhat 7.0?
Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2001 13:31:29 GMT
Hey;
I've got an issue with Redhat 7.0 & rexec. The error message that
shows up in the log is:
Jan 15 11:58:27 ${HOST} in.rexecd[8854]: connect from nucms
Jan 15 11:58:27 ${HOST} rshd[8855]: connect second port: Connection refused
After familiarizing myself with Redhat's new standard xinet
(remind me to thank them properly someday...), I updated
/etc/xinetd.d/rexec as follows:
service exec
{
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
log_on_success += USERID
log_on_failure += USERID
server = /usr/sbin/in.rexecd ## Was rlogind
disable = no ## << Was disabled
}
After looking through deja news, I found a couple of references to
the pam.d/rexec file. Based on those suggestions I modified thusly:
#%PAM-1.0
# auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so
# auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
There are two nics in the system, only one of which is configured.
After all these changes, I'm getting those error messages and no rexec
capability. Anyone have any hints?
Thanks for your time.

I have VMware Express 2.0.3 installed on my Dell Latitiude CPx J750GT laptop running
RedHat Linux 7.0.
I installed Win98SE into the VM. It works VERY well. I have MS Office 2000 SR-1, Lotus
Smartsuite 9.5 Millenium Edition and Lotus Notes 5.0.6 all running very well.
I can see all the other Windows system resources on the network and I print to a
network printer. I can share files onto the network for others to access. When the VM
boots, it is like powering up a PC....right down to the Phoenix BIOS in the VM window
that loads when you "power on".
I have mounted my old Win98 partition as /win under Linux...and share that to the VM
using the private 172.* network that VMware uses between the VM and the host for
sharing files.
I dial out to the company WAN via my USR Sportster 56k modem from the VM. So the
Windows VM can see the InTRAnet...while the Linux host can see the InTERnet via my
cable modem and LAN.
The VM is 10.1.1.10 on my LAN while the Linux host is 10.1.1.9. I have both set up in
my DNS server....
VMware is like having two, complete, PCs in one.
There are some caveats. So far, you only get accelerated video when running the VM in
a window. If you run it full-screen, then it is frame-buffer. This means text can
scroll slowly. This is a Linux / XFree86 limitation that hopefully will go away
shortly. I find it quite usable in full screen...ESPECIALLY since upgrading ly Linux
kernel to 2.4.0.
Token ring networking is not supported. Just ethernet and dial-up IP.
The various emulators all have the their pluses and minuses. In chosing VMware, I was
going for what seems to me to be maximum compatibility with windows.
I have not tried any other Windows packages for Linux. I have heard good things about
Win4lin.

Subject: XFree86 crashing monitor and mouse on Gateway Performace w/ EV700?
Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2001 14:31:52 GMT
Hello,
I am currently attempting to set up Linux on a Gateway
Performance 1000 with 128 MB RAM, Pentium III processor, Sound Blaster
Live sound card, NEC DVD drive, 60 GB IDE hard drive and an nVidia
GeForce card (MX if I recall correctly). The distribution I am using
is Slackware 7.1, with XFree86 4.0.2 and Linux kernel 2.2.18. I am
using an EV700 monitor.
Recently, I was running XFree86 while under a heavy CPU load
and in the middle of a large download, and running irqtune so that
the modem would get higher priority in the IRQ listing. I attempted
to switch virtual terminals from X to a text console, as I've done many
times before without incident, when the monitor popped up a box
like it's configuration screen - except this time, it was complaining
that I had sent it a bad frequency (15 horizontal, approximately,
if I recall correctly) and it gave 20 seconds until it suspended itself.
It locked up all operations, and I was unable to use the mouse or
keyboard, or power switch. I was forced to unplug the computer. I
plugged it in again, and this time it booted correctly - except,
however, the PS/2 mouse was completely nonfunctional. Although Windows
ME and Linux apparently detected it, neither reacted to mouse movement
or button clicks. Unplugging and plugging the mouse back in had no
effect. I was able to restore mouse function after turning the
computer off again and restarting it, as well as doing some BIOS
modifications.
It is now working correctly. However, the pressing questions
are will it happen again, and why is it doing this? This is a
particularly pressing question, as I only have two weeks in which
to return it. I have been unable to reproduce the problem after
several attempts. I correctly configured X - the horizontal refresh
is 31-69, and the vertical refresh is 50-160 as per specifications
on the Gateway website. The problem occured when X was in 1280x1024
mode, which the monitor reports to be using a horizontal sync of 63.9
and a vertical refresh of 60.0. Making things stranger was that the
monitor complained when the refresh rate was BELOW the specified range,
not above it.
I'm rather pressed for time with this; as I've said, I only
have two weeks before time runs out on the return policy. Does
anyone have any ideas or solutions? Anything you can tell me about
this would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Try just using the directory name, rather than a wildcard, if possible.
The wildcard
is generating too many filenames for tar to handle.

Subject: VMWare Plain disk creation
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have installed VMWare 2.0.3 on my Linux. I have installed NT 4.0 as a guest
on a partition. Now I am trying to add a partition and have a plain disk on it.
Each time, I am creating a plain disk on a partition device (mounted as a file
system) of 2.6 GB, I get the following error,
"Unable to write block at offset 0x750f00000 in file /nt-d/nt-4d1.dat: No space
left on device. Could not create plain disk "/nt-d/nt-4d.pln"
If I try to create a plain disk of smaller size on the same partition, I
continue to get the same error.
I am following the exact instructions from the VMware support document. Is
there a formula for creating a plain disk on a mounted partition?
Thank you in advance.
