I had the same problem - you need to install the newer version of ppp as
stated in the 2.4.1 Docs/Changes file.
However, having done this I now have problems with /usr/lib/passwordfd.so -
which I had previously cured in the 2.2.16 kernel by deleting a ppp package
as stated in SuSEs support database.
I was told to compile ppp support into the kernel rather than a a loadable
modules, but still no joy :-(

Subject: Multi-threads (pthreads) & Socket.
Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2001 22:30:14 +0800
Hello,
I'm working on socket programming.
There's a need to process SEND & RECEIVE
from the same socket at the same time.
This is required as I need to calculate the delay
when i send and receive from an echo server elsewhere.
Does anyone have any knowledge in this? Or can anyone post me some
documentation for reference?
Below is a code obtained from LJ34. However, after running the compiled code
(cc helloworld.c -o helloworld -lpthread), the output is still SYNCHRONOUS,
i.e. the output doesn't interleave...
Any clues or other working examples of ASYNC pthreading??
Thanks & regards.

I am not 100% sure you need the development drivers, but I am _pretty_
surre you need scsi support. *nix will see your usb removable media drives

A way to do this would be with the increasingly-all-purpose utility,
C-Kermit:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck71.html
If you want to delete all *.*~ files in the directory tree, the command is:
delete /recursive *.*~
Some people might find this a bit more intuitive than
find . -name \*.\*~ -exec rm -f {} \;
The C-Kermit 7.1 DELETE command has lots of flexibility as you can see
from its list of options:
C-Kermit>delete ? File specification;
or switch, one of the following:
/after: /except: /nodotfiles /recursive /type:
/ask /heading /noheading /simulate
/before: /larger-than: /nolist /smaller-than:
/directories /list /not-after: /summary
/dotfiles /noask /not-before: /tree
C-Kermit>
So if you wanted to delete recursively files whose names matched a certain
pattern that were older than a certain date and were bigger than X but
smaller than Y, except for a certain list of files, it's all there.
"delete /tree" is like "rm -Rf" or "deltree". "/simulate" lets you see
what would happen without actually doing it.
By the way, when you say *.*~, if you really mean EMACS-style backup files,
like foo.c.~3~, Kermit has a built-in command for that too: PURGE:
C-Kermit>purge ? Filename or switch, one of the following:
/after: /except: /list /nolist /page
/ask /heading /noask /nopage /recursive
/before: /keep: /nodotfiles /not-after: /simulate
/dotfiles /larger-than: /noheading /not-before: /smaller-than:
C-Kermit>
As you can see, this one can also be applied recursively, plus you can
tell it to keep a certain number of backup generations if you want. In your
case the command would be simply:
purge /recursive *.*

You don't need to use 28800, you can use a high rate such as 38400 or
56000 or 11500. The 28800 is the rate at which your modem sends the
compressed data. I hope that helps.

Sounds as your sshd is running, try
netstat -tuplan
Shut it down with it's init script
/etc/rc.d/sshd stop
or
/sbin/init.d/sshd stop
(where ever it is on RH)

Hylafax is very cool indeed. I just worked with someone to setup Hylafax
to automatically submit a fax into a database, which could then be viewed

Under some circomstances it's not a bad idea to use telnet. If the
original poster wanted to allow telnet access to the rest of his office,
for example, and the machine was firewalled from the internet, then this
can be a very reasonable thing to do. The original poster should try,
"man telnetd" or "man in.telnetd". I don't know the particular
distribution in question, but telnetd might already be installed and
just need starting.
Even if the machine is on the internet, there are certain connection
types that are more susceptible to sniffing than others. For example,
DSL connections are very difficult if not impossible to snif.
That said, if this machine is to be available on the internet, I'd
suggest SSH also.

2.4.x and late 2.3.x kernels have a different dir structure for modules.
Do you have any subdirs in /lib/modules/2.4.1? modules themselves can be
burried deep in subdir strucutre, i.e.
/lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/drivers/block/floppy.o
if they are not there, I'd say do make modules_install and look through
the output to see if there were problems installing modules.

There are several jfs, i suppose you mean reiserfs.
Any way, and the hard way..
make a new partition, copy / over to it, format your old / in reiserfs
(using makereiserfs)
and copy the files back again...
You probably have to boot into the new partition you copied / over to..

Hi together,
i have never had such problems with installing
a printer in RedHat. /etc/printcap is configured,
lpd is runnning (restarting does not help).
The problem seems to be there with the parallel
port?! 'lpstat > /dev/lp0' should print
some ASCII chars to the printer - but nothing
happens! No errors in /var/log/messages...
The ASCIIs are sent to nirvana....
Any ideas??
Thank you
Reiner

In most areas actually.
Read the _Communist Manifesto_ sometime.
Socialism has infected virtually every society on earth to at least
some extent.

Subject: help with rp3 dialer
Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2001 11:07:59 -0600
I am using redhat 7.0 and use the rp3 dialer program to connect to the
internet. Yesterday, I tried to edit my connection (change the phone number)
and got a segmentation fault.
Since then, when I start rp3 and try to connect, I get an error message
"Failed to activate interface". Now, I can, through the rp3 config tool and
using debug, establish a ppp connection. So, that works. However, all this
does, I think, is allow one to determine whether a connection can be
established or not. It does not maintain the connection.
In any case, it appears that the dialer is broken and I am at a loss how to
fix it. Perhaps it is best to find the appropriate rpm on the redhat cd and
reinstall? If so, what is the correct rpm or does anyone have any other idea
how to get the dialer working.
Thanks to all in advance,
Dick Fell
