When setting up an ipchains firewall in Linux what is meant by "TCP SYN
cookies protection"? EG: where you do this in the firewall script:
for f in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/rp_filter; do
echo 1 > $f
done
Thanks for help,
Tom

Hi, Jacob,
I Know the use of Lilo, but, as I stated in my posting,
I'm looking for a way to boot WITHOUT using LILO.
Thanks anyway

Simply do a network install. Downloading a 650 MB iso image will take
more time as downloading only the files you need. The problem is getting
it right the first time around ;-) So if downloading isn't the problem, decide
a distribution, go to their "dos-utils" section get the readme,
rawrite.exe and the correct boot disc. Use rawrite to write the boot
disc image to a floppy, use that to boot the system and them do a
network install. Will only work reasonably well if you have a fast
internet connection. In RedHats case:
Mirrors/ftp.redhat.com/redhat/redhat-7.0/i386/en/dosutils/rawrite.exe
Mirrors/ftp.redhat.com/redhat/redhat-7.0/i386/en/images/bootnet.img
Mirrors/ftp.redhat.com/redhat/redhat-7.0/i386/en/images/drivers.img
Mirrors/ftp.redhat.com/redhat/redhat-7.0/i386/en/images/pcmcia.img (if
needed)
Otherwise go to cheapbytes.com (or others) and order a cd. That should
cost not too much, and will allow you to get a cd and save yourself the
agony of downloading 500 MB just to mess things up and having to get it
again.
IMHO The best would be to buy a decent book (search the linux groups for
recommendations) with a cd with redhat, suse, or debian included. That
will give you also some information about what to do once everything is
up and running. Most boxed distributions only contain an installation
manual, so your better of, buying a linux book (with cd) that covers more
then just installation. Most better assorted bookstores now have several
linux books on stock, so have a look there, make sure the cd is recent
(fi redhat 6.0 would be too old to support newer hardware, and has too
many outdated insecure software). Something like learning debian
GNU/linux, the $FLAVOUR linux bible, or $FLAVOUR Unleashed. O'Reilly is
traditionally the most often refered to publisher for opensource
manuals, but I don't know what they would have in stock now.

Backup isn't just 'tar'. Backup also contains a strategy, like tower of hanoi,

What planet are you on? Then explain why chile or columbia are and have
been third world countries for over 70 years, hell before the term "3rd
world" was ever invented. And "socialism" is what will solve
california's insane electricity scam. California is lucky about it's
climate, in that the majority of the people live in the southern part
and thus won't freeze to death this winter. In SF, everyone can huddle
next to their servers to keep warm.

Yeah, if you can save several copies of your file, and if possible with
several different versions of quicken. If you run into problems with the
latest version, maybe the older versions might work. For something as
important as that, get a 2nd computer, put linux on it, and keep your
old one until you can get it converted properly.

Some people would prefer that, as it would make people even easier to
enslave. My boss has to pay almost 70k a year for 40 hours of my life
every week, minus 3 weeks of vacation per year. In mauritania all a
slave gets is a bowl or 2 of food (every day if he's lucky).

You bet comrade, down here, Central High School of Tuscaloosa, Alabama
certainly instilled the proper Marxist worldview needed to crush the
evil capitalists. However, those damn Eastwood Middle School teachers
tried their damnest to turn us all into decadent Trotskyists, but
fortuneately Eastwood only teaches 8th grade, so I was under their sway

Then stop voting for assholes who think the War on Drugs is something
worth fighting, that's where all this crap comes from. The reason we
have a huge government that does very badly all the things that are
really important, is because we've been frightened into thinking we need
government to fight various hobgoblins: communism, drugs, and now linux.
We get intercontinental balistic missles that can target a sparrow, but
Jimmy can't read, or walk safely to school. But in the meantime billions
get spent, and end up in corporate pockets, which is the real American
Way.

Why? And no, you said "without using lilo AND bootparameters". The
suggestion of using append= indeed means you don't input kernel
bootparameters at the boot prompt, they're input to the kernel for you
by lilo.
If you don't like lilo, you can use another loader instead, but I fail
to see the difference. You would still be booting your system
"directly", whatever that means. Perhaps you are unaware that lilo
can be on the floppy? In fact, it normally is.

Subject: edit symbols in library
Date: Mon, 22 Jan 2001 08:52:51 +0100
Hello everyone,
i'm trying to get an application (FORTRAN) up and running
(on a linux-box) which needs some numerical packages from
netlib (like MPI,BLACS,SCALAPACK,...).
I'm able to complile the librarys (tried g77, absoft f77
and also a C compliler is needed which is gcc for me)
I already have problems linking the examples (but MPI works),
i believe this is due to different conventions about the symbol
names in the library (trailing underscores, upper/lowercase,...)
because i was comparing the output of nm to the linker error
messages.
So is there any possibility to edit the sybombols in the
library?
(instead of doing it by search and replace in the source code.)
TIA, Oliver
