Uh oh, I got a blue screen under Linux, it was black! I think it's some kind
of hardware problem, since it happens both with Debian Linux 2.2 and with
SuSE linux 6.4.
Under Debian I get the message as stated below, SuSE doesn't
say a thing and just hangs. It hangs very often (I rarely shut down in the
normal way anymore). If my kernel panics, so do I! :-) Anyone wants to take a
look at this? I have no idea where to look, and I wasn't able to isolate the
problem so far. After taking out the ISDN, network or SCSI card, the problem
still arises. Often (not always) when it hangs, the hdd light keeps burning.
I thought it may have to do with the hard disk, so I turned off the
auto-power-off in the BIOS setup. No effect. Bought new CPU fan, same thing.
Debian and SuSE each use their own hdd. If someone could at least tell me
what device causes it, I would be helped.

Subject: vpop3d + xinetd not working
Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2001 05:36:08 -0600
Anyone got vpop3d working with xinetd on RH 7.0?
This used to work fine on RH 6.2 with inetd.conf:
pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/lib/linuxconf/lib/vpop3d /usr/sbin/ipop3d
When I upgraded to RH 7.0, I did this to /etc/xinetd.d/ipop3:
service pop3
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/lib/linuxconf/lib/vpop3d
server_args = /usr/sbin/ipop3d
log_on_success += USERID
log_on_failure += USERID
}
I can see vpop3d gets called each time someone connects to port 110, and
I can telnet to port 110 and see vpop3d's greeting messages, but no user
can login to real or virtual server from a remote pop3 client.
Any ideas?

Never mind. I tried narrowing down which directory the problem was in, and

a floppy to transfer some files from one system to another and had forgotten
to umount it.
When I umounted the floppy the problem went away.

Hi there,
How can I tell the system to always set the same user of a created file in
a specific directory (no matter who creates this file). In the smbd.conf
there is an option called 'force user', which is exactly what I'd need. How
do I do that if the file is not created via samba, but on the normal linux
level ? Can anybody help ?
Many thanx in advance,

This link is a bit obtuse as to what it is actually acheiving and how.
Is this booting to hde or using a small partition on hda and the rest on

Is Mandrake using a patched lilo?

Just to clarify before this thread explodes into an anti-RedHat flamefest,
this worm exploits (on RH6.2) vulnerabilities in wu-ftpd and rpc.statd --
vulnerabilities which have had fixes released since June 23rd and July 21st,

And I thought that Ontario politicians were greedy <g>. I hope that
other political jurisdictions don't get the same idea; I can just see
some provincial government politician deciding to increase the income
tax of pedestrians because "the commutter costs (automobile/public
transit) that they did not have to pay because they walked is like
income, and should be taxed as such". <g>

It's tactics like this (sales tax on a costless item) that gives
politicians (rightly) a bad name. P'haps it's time for "Open Source
Politics" <g>

You haven't provided enough information to tell what is going
wrong. When DOS is running, it has to think it is the C: drive. If
this is not the case, you could make a linux boot disk with fdisk, use
linux fdisk to set the partition up for DOS, then reboot to DOS.
Recent computers will let you change the active partition in the BIOS
on bootup.

Indeed. The only valid definition of a government is something olong
the lines of "an organisation with the power to control the popluation
within its territory". This definition seems to upset many folks, but
its the only one that applies to all types of government regardless of
ideology.

Try setting Linux's tape-device to variable-block-mode:
mt setblk 0

DATs support this feature.

I see one problem with that. The /tmp directory either has to
be so large as to waste a lot of disk space, or risk being too
small and crashing something like a massive compile. I would
make /tmp a symlink to /var/tmp, and perhaps increase the size
of /var some, while spreading the remaining space elsewhere. The
basic idea then is to put everything which is likely to fragment
into /var.
One might even consider making /home a symlink to /var/home for
that same purpose. And add that huge chunk of space to /var,
thus also providing /var/tmp with access to basically all of the
free disk space which exists on the partition which will be fragmented.
Or, perhaps reduce the size of that huge /home partition above
and divide it between added space to /var (to take care of
dynamic usage, in /var/home) and some other partition (which
would then be used for static storage space for files which are
not likely to ever be rewritten).
I also happen to like using two, or even more, swap partitions.
For example, a couple of 150M or even 200M (making your swap
space slightly larger, but that isn't necessary and two 128M
partitions would also do). With only a single disk this isn't
as useful as it is with multiple disks, where it then becomes
possible to remove one or the other disk and still function.
(Have both disks partitioned roughly the same to make swap, boot,
/, and /usr sized spaces available, even if the original intention
is not to use one disk for that purpose.
But, even with just one disk, the reason for two swap partitions
is that about once every two years or so (I mean, not often!) I
have a need for a single small partition to do something in.
That extra swap space can be borrowed for needs like that...

Subject: setfont and mapping table: I need help
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2001 13:39:12 GMT
Here are two paragraphs from the 'setfont' man page, followed by some
questions, the questions keyed to numbers in angle-brackets that I
have put in the text. Basically I am totally baffled by the
relationship between fonts, mapping tables, and unicode mapping
tables. I've spent 8-10 hours studying the docs, but I can't
make heads or tails of them.
The ordering of the symbols in the font is described by a mapping
table. Some fonts have a mapping table included in the font
file, and setfont will load such a mapping table.<1> If no
explicit mapping table is included in the font, and no mapping
table is provided using the -m option<2>, the `trivial' mapping is
assumed. In any case the mapping table just loaded is
activated by outputting the string Esc ( K.<3> Giving a -m none
argument inhibits the loading and activation of a mapping
table.<4> The previous mapping table can be saved to a file using
the -om file option. These options of setfont render
mapscrn(8) obsolete.
The correspondence between the glyphs in the font and Uni�
code values is described by a Unicode mapping table. Some
fonts have a Unicode mapping table included in the font
file, and an explicit table can be indicated using the -u
option.<5> Setfont will load such a Unicode mapping table,
unless a -u none argument is given.<6> The previous Unicode
mapping table can be saved to a file using the -ou file
option.
<1> How do you know if a font includes a mapping table?
<2> When should you use the -m option? And, how do you know which
mapping table to specify?
<3> How do you "output the string"? When should you do this? What
happens if you don't?
<4> How do you know if the font includes a unicode mapping table?
<5> How do you know when to do this? How do you know which unicode
mapping table to specify?
And finally, does any of this matter? Do you really have to deal with
the mapping table issue when using 'setfont' to change the console font?
